  1. quite true, been gone for a few years now.
  2. i never fished it but i've thought about it every one of the thousands of times ive driven past it. i wasnt born in oakville but i lived there from 88 until three or four years ago when we moved to burlington. have they opened lions valley park yet? ... also, grew up in bronte, can barely recognize it these days.
  3. wasnt that pond on private property? or am i mistaken?
  4. i happened to be downtown hamilton the other day so i decided to stop at the service ontario office. i was in and out of the office in 15 minutes with my fishing, small game and deer tags for a total of 96 bucks. cant complain about that at all.
  5. fuel pricing has VERY little to do with the price of oil. its all speculators making tons of money off the backs of your avg joe
  6. looks that way to me, too
  7. the oath couldn't have bothered you that much if you took it, and then the pay cheques.
  8. if you consider an expedition make sure you take a good look at the rad support. i've seen more than a few rotted out there
  9. i can tell you the automotive repair places have been affected by the weather. no real cold nights means fewer batteries dying, not as many no-start problems. the lack of snowy/icy roads means less fenderbenders and front end work from people sliding off the road and into curbs etc. also, take a look at how many snowblowers you see out front of places like canadian tire and home depot, lowes etc.
  10. lakair???
  11. on the back of the ticket, isnt there options for how to proceed? you have 15 days in most cases to respond and several options, you can request a trial date and plead guilty, guilty with a reason or try and fight it. im pretty sure you dont have to go in person to request trial.
  12. my safari rolled over 325k km last week
  13. like i said, i may be wrong good to know
  14. ch312 i believe you can still ride a 2up atv on roads/streets if you dont have a passenger on the back. you cant ride the sxs at all on the roads/streets. i may be wrong.
  15. im pretty sure you arent allowed to drive side by sides on the road at all. if that is something you ever plan on.
  16. this will be my first year hunting, i cant wait!
  17. were you using the same gauge at both places? gas station air pressure gauges are notoriously inaccurate. ryan
  18. my biggest worry would be the fact that they need body work.
  19. my last name is dunn ryan
  20. after running through my receipts quickly it looks like i used right around 900l of fuel to do the 5800km trip out east. that works out to right around 15.5l/100km or 15 and a bit mpg. thats towing a trailer weighing ~2000lbs, 2 people and gear/clothes.
  21. ive been going through drums on my safari like crazy. i bought middle line parts to replace what was on there and have had to warranty them twice and now after my trip they pulsate AGAIN. they'll be going back to the store tomorrow and i'll be replacing them with some top line parts. its ridiculous the quality of some of the brake parts out there these days, stuff coming warped right out of the box. i put delco rotors and wagner thermoquiet ceramics up front and they work really well. the top line carquest shoes out back work well but the midline drums are complete crap. edit....there not their
  22. towing capacity is 5500lbs on them properly equipped. in the manual for my 97 it recommends brakes on anything over 2k lbs. over the last 2 weeks i put 6k kms on my 97 towing my 10' box tent trailer. the trailer weighs about 1800lbs empty or so. i hauled it out to the east coast and had no problems doing it. i was looking for some extra horsepower occasionally (the tow package vans got 3.73 gears, mine has 3.23's) but it towed it pretty well really. the other thing im DEFINITELY doing as soon as possible is putting brakes on the trailer. overall its a good tow vehicle....fuel mileage leaves something to be desired though. i'll try and figure out the avg mpg i got over my trip tomorrow and see if i remember to post the numbers. for what its worth mine had exactly 307,000km on it when i left my parking spot. ryan
  23. you could take it out and go to canadian tire or any other shop and have it load tested. most places do it for free and the ones that charge for it are quite reasonable. way better than finding out too late out on the water
