    Came across this site while looking for a place to sell our '87 Colony Park.
    One of the best vehicles we ever had; comfortable (fell asleep at the wheel once; still here), powerful (pulled a trailer), versatile (fold the back seat; you've got a truck!) and actually not bad on fuel. Who needs a mini-van or an SUV when you can have a station wagon???

    Posting pics

    I would post a pic but can't figure out how. Too late anyway; off to bed.

    Saskatchewan's a BIG place

    "Thank you... looks good... is this the one your trying to sell?"

    To be honest, it's a 20 footer. Plateable in Sask w/ no accident history. One way or another it has to go. 351HO & AOD already sold. Some interest on this site for other parts. Thanks!


    "I have a sister living in the thriving metropolis of Shaunavon. Are you handy to there?"

    Probably 5 hrs away by some of the worst road on the planet. I work as as a shipper/receiver; there isn't a day go by I don't hear about the lack of maintenance on Sask highways. One trucker told me he would NEVER haul into Sask EVER again.
    We've lived in this community for 22+ yrs; the main access road needed major rebuilding THEN; we're still waiting. Just where do all our fuel tax $ go??? That'll be my rant for the day..........

    My other sister and I went out west last summer to visit our baby sister in Shauny. Did a little touring about and your right you do have to stay alert when driving. Got to Dog river...love that show:dancing: Mom's there now(Shauny not Dog River) She tells me she hasn't seen a car yet that doesn't have a broken windsheild. From flying stones and all the bumps I guess?

    Touring Sask

    "My other sister and I went out west last summer to visit our baby sister in Shauny. Did a little touring about and your right you do have to stay alert when driving."
    Yep, don't matter where you drive here in Sk.

    "Got to Dog river...love that show:dancing:"
    We went the extra mile to Rouleau (pardon me, Dog River) on a trip to Moose Jaw once; it was worth it.

    "Mom's there now(Shauny not Dog River) She tells me she hasn't seen a car yet that doesn't have a broken windsheild. From flying stones and all the bumps I guess?"
    Glass, tires, wheels, springs, shocks, CV joints, paint, headlights, wheel alignments........... the list is endless........... and priceless. There was a pothole on my route to work that would literally swallow a wheel/tire on the Civic. Probably still there (22+ yrs haven't passed yet); I've changed my route. I pin the blame for a $100 wheel alignment wholly & solidly on that unrepaired pothole.

    Just wondering, if you drove into my driveway and went into a large hole and damaged your car, wouldn't I be responsible for your repairs? I am suppose to keep the conidition of my property up, right?

    So how come taxpayers can be held liable but levels of government are not?

    If you fell into a big hole while out walking on a trail in a provincal park would't the province be accountable? Then why is it different on our roads...still the responsiblity of the province isn't it?

    Somewhere in BC I heard that a couple of tourist are sueing the province because they where attacked by a BEAR!!! Please the government is supposed to liable for stupid hikers that go off into the wilderness
    and be attached! But somehow their not responsible for the condition of the roads . My mom hit a pothole in a Mall parking lot one time, the mall management went good for the damages...why not our elected officals?

    SShhh...I'm starting to sound like Normy...:disagree:
