    New car shopping

    I hear you - its tough actually caring about cars and shopping for one these days. We bought our Forester pretty much because it was the only decent SUV with a manual transmission - Wish we could have gotten the turbo with manual but they dont make it.

    New car shopping

    thanks guys, a couple of answers. FWD is out - I have owned FWD cars before and find AWD or RWD just soooo much better. Not really interested in cross overs as I kayak and load bikes on roof racks and frankly Im not that tall and find putting stuff on top of our Forester a pain. VW is...

    New car shopping

    My 2005 Saab 92x is rapidly approaching 360,000km so I think I am due soon. I am not too picky :rolleyes: but the new car must be a manual transmission, wagon/hatchback, NOT FWD.

    Corduroy trail ride

    I havent done the Cord with them but have done quite a few of the other rides. They will load up your GPS for you and typically give a quick powerpoint style overview of the route as well. I have always been impressed with RallyConnex

    Anyone familiar with Saab's?

    Mechanic recommendation - Barrie

    I dropped it off this morning at St Onge with John, he ran the old Machine Racing shop and a lot of his guys came with him. They did look up the old St Onge work order and it was actually 2 years ago and not last fall as I thought I remembered. This would mean an extra 10k or so on the engine...

    Mechanic recommendation - Barrie

    I have been told to bring it to John Nelson at St Onge as he is part of the Dirt / Motocross crew. Hopefully they can set it straight.

    St Onge looked at it previously and I cant say I was very impressed. 3 weeks, $300 and they didnt solve the problem. Anyone else?

    Mechanic recommendation - Barrie

    My KLX250 with 37,000km on it is making a hell of a noise. Its lived a tough life so far, when do these engines typically need to be rebuilt?
