    US vs Canadian Prices

    The Ford 500 that we had driven to Florida developed a rear brake problem. Because this car was fairly new we stopped in to Gary Yoemans Ford in Daytona Beach Florida just off of the I95. This is by far the largest car dealership I have ever been in, lots of stock as well as one of the largest...

    The Ride is on the Road

    I have installed a couple of clutches. It IS NOT something you want to do laying on your back in the laneway. Really you need a hoist, air tools and be sure you will either have to have the fly wheel machined or install a new one. Good luck!

    The Ride is on the Road

    Well the 96Gt hit the road today. I picked it up from its dusty storage location today and spent the rest of the afternoon scrubbing and cleaning. The car now looks great! While I was at it I cleaned the K&N and replaced the plugs. The GT only has 80,000kms on it and I know they say the plugs...

    Where do you guys get your tires??

    My last set came off of eBay out of Montreal. I watched for a couple of months until I saw what I wanted and made the bid. I bought a set of Michelin Pilot sports, 245x45x17, brand new, 4 tires $600, great deal.

    Bosch Spark Plugs

    I see Canadian Tire has BOSCH Platinum 4, 2 & 1 Spark plugs on sale this week (Feb 4 to 10). Anyone have experience or comments on Bosch plugs in the various configurations. I need to change the plugs in my 1996, 4.6 l GT. Thanks

    Car cover?

    Canadian Tire, the best one they sell, I think around $150. It does not fit as nice as the $400 Ford cover but the material looks similar. I have been using mine since 1996 and it still is in fine condition. You must take off the antenna for the cover to fit. good luck

    Winter Storage tips

    I have owned my 96 GT from new and store it every winter. I have always used the same routine: - wash clean - fill the gas tank and use Sta-Bil - change the oil and filter - inflate the tires to max tire pressure - place a bar of soap in the interior (suppose to keep any mice away) - park...

    Cops hate me for sure..

    Hey, don't feel too bad about the paper check, same thing happened to me a few weeks ago and I was driving my winter Subaru. On top of that I am an old grey haired guy so go figure. Remember these guys have a job to do, if you ever need them (like the Stang is gone when you come from work) you...

    Ebay: What will they think of next?

    Hey be careful with eBay, I have a good trader rating and have made many successful purchases without any trouble. Unfortunately I am a victim of what is turning out to be a large Scam being run by some Ottawa located a-hole. Several Police reports but the Police have already said don't expect...

    Bush's visit to Ottawa

    Wow, I am going express some of my own opinions here: 1: First this is not the forum for this type of a discussion and link should be removed. 2: Some may not like Bush but the US public support him, this is his second term, regardless of the leader and where they may be from lots of folks...

    Winter Can Start NOW!

    Oh what a feeling; it can now snow if it has to! My indoor, warm, sheltered parking spot became available to me last evening so I rushed my 96GT vert into storage. It is almost all set to have the cover put on, insurance removed and be forgotten about until April. All it needs is a wash and dry...

    2005 Mustang GT Spotted in Ottawa!

    Man what a bad time of year in Ottawa to be introducing this car, rain, snow ice all kinds of sh-t! I for one can hardly wait to put my 96 away on November 20. I am sure the dealers receiving these cars in Ottawa would be happy to unload at sticker or less right now.
