Back home in Ontario

2006-08-28T15:13:00.000-05:00

I took the Mustang back to St. Catharines, Ontario this weekend. I left Thursday morning and drove through Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan before getting home late Saturday afternoon.

If anyone in Winnipeg is interested in the car, they will have to make arrangements to pick the car up from St. Catharines as I currently have no intentions of bringing it back to Winnipeg.

For those who are in Southern Ontario, this is a great chance to pick up a beautiful, reliable car to use as a daily driver or a summer fun vehicle. You can still get in touch with me at lyndsay@winnipegmustang.com - I will put you in touch with my St. Catharines contacts.

Taking the mustang to work

2006-08-01T08:07:00.000-05:00

Yesterday Dave's car was getting serviced so we took my car to work. To avoid having to pay for parking downtown, he dropped me off and took it to his work.

When he came to pick me up, I couldn't believe how good it looked coming down my road. I've never seen my mustang approach me before - because I'm always driving. It really did bring a tear to my eye - I am really going to miss my car.

Life with one car

2006-07-26T15:02:00.000-05:00

I've been working downtown for almost two months now, and I have not driven my Mustang in two weeks.

As much as I miss it, we definately can do with only one vehicle. So if there was ever any doubt before, it's gone - my beautiful 2000 Ford Mustang needs to find a good home.

I'm faced with a dilemna - sell the car quickly here in Winnipeg, or drive it out to Ontario next month. And so I've lowered the price. Unfortunately, by lowering it I can't budge on it. But anyone who knows me knows the love and attention this car has received since I've owned it.

Having a Mustang was great. I know that I will own one again someday - maybe a Mustang GT? Time will tell. But no matter what, I'll always remain an active member of the Niagara Classic Mustang Club - well, as active as I can be 2000 kilometres away!

The winter tires have been off for a few weeks now and I sure am enjoying it. As soon as had them put on, I spent a couple hours scrubbing them down, cleaning them and the rims up.

The car has been on display at Kildonan Place most weekends for the past couple of weeks.

I love that its been so nice out, because I sure love a clean car. Thank heavens it is summer!

World of Wheels

On Saturday, we attended the World of Wheels show at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.

The place was packed, you really couldn't move around too much. All in all, I can't say I was too impressed with my first WoW show. I only found two Mustangs, and not many more Fords. It was very obviously a GM-driven (no pun intended) show.

But, I am sure I would have regretted not going. So I am glad we went.

Woohoo!

MMFA Forums are up and running again. Yeeeeehaw!!

I guess I was wrong

Well upon clicking the links in my post below, I got a Page Cannot Be Displayed. I guess I must have just been seeing an old cached version from my hard drive.

Manitoba Mustang and Ford Association

Today I was contacted by the Webmaster for the Manitoba Mustang and Ford Association. Somehow, going to their forums (www.manitobamustang.com/forums) returns a 403 You Are Not Authorized to View This Page.

It's hosted by Invision Power Boards, so I added index.php to the URL and bam, no problem. But apparently that doesn't work for everyone. So I don't know what's up.

If you want to give it a try, click on this link: www.manitobamustang.com/forums/index.php. Leave a comment if it works or doesn't work.

Just a tip - if you surf around their site, it is really outdated. Only the forums are current.
