They are redoing the ramps to the 401 in Cobourg @ 45,saw someone back up the new ramp to 45
The new ramp is still just gravel,and not join to 401,  they had to drive around some barriers to get there

They were driving a old Ford Escape. Mr T was that you? :rofl2:

I work on weekends. What happens if I see something really cool on the weekend, but I see it while I'm on my way to work? Where should I post!?! ???

I think we need a whole bunch of new threads:

Interesting things seen on the way from work; Interesting things seen on the way to the mall; Interesting things seen on the way home from the mall; Interesting things seen on the way to the doctor's office to get your prostate checked; Interesting things seen on the way to nowhere in particular, but only on Tuesdays; Interesting things seen on the way to the grocery store to get those crackers that your wife likes because you ate the last one at two in the morning and now your wife is hungry and grumpy; ...

The BMW seems more reasonable than the rest. The Impala looks like it might have been pulled from a wreaking yard.



A nice, clean looking Fox-body Mustang. A bro-dozer RAM behind sadly is pretty normal for here.

I just remembered that when visiting my mother last weekend I saw a Subaru CrossTrek XV towing a tent trailer.  Even though the XV is rated to tow 1500 lbs., it seemed odd to see a Pontiac Vibe-sized vehicle towing a trailer.

That Impala is just silly. Jeep is almost as bad, those are worthless around here.

A great night at the Pony Corral Sunday evening.  Saw my first Hellcat Challenger and a De Tomaso Pantera.

Quite a bit unless you have 'friends' in the shipping business.   But for a log stay , 3 months all around NA, it may well be economic.    I am presuming that they will be able to drive it in the USA if they want to...there are international agreements about such things.

Nice - I went to Kingston about 8 years ago, and as luck would have it, a Pantera club was having a run.

Meant to post this earlier - found in a depanneur in Thurso when I stopped to get a drink while touring around on the Québec side last weekend -- friction powered Hummer decorated as a Russian police vehicle.  For $5 I couldn't pass it up!
