Ya, there where many of us hanging around yesterday, a regular meeting of the um....minds!

Ralph and the guys at Canadian Tire Carling have been real good to us at MCO, its great to see so many of us sending buisness that way, keep it up!

Thanks Mang,

........tint to hide pipes?

Is it actually illegal to have a roll bar on the street? I don't plan on driving the car much other than to Solo Events and it may even get towed regularly if it does not pass emissions in July. :loco:

Not sure about illegal according to HTA, but he cops will harass you big time.

Ah yes, it was springtime yesterday for MCOers at Canadian Tire Carling with motorsports and mods in the air.
Ralph, George, Phil and Pete have all been excellent in caring and repairing all three of our daily drivers/weekend racers.
Highly recommended for those looking for straight answers and answers to "what if" questions.

- Got to drive in Guy's car. A beautiful conversion job with nicely crafted cage. He's going to have fun this year for sure.
It's got me dreaming of possibilites for the old 240 (if it holds up to the abuse in the meantime).
- Ian, I signed on at Calabogie last night - I'll be sure to keep my fluids to myself there (that didn't come out right) - coolant that is.

I never had a prob over the 2 years and my 4pt is painted in white... pretty obvious that I have partial cage in the car.

Big props to Ralph/George and their team! I have been very happy with their service and so have been my friends that I've referred to them.

Ralph, you should get us some stickers. I would gladly put them on magnetized vinyls, and have them on the car at events to support your business. :chug:

I’d consider getting CT stickers on my car but only if it’s a colour scheme that matches with yellow and green (painter’s tape). Otherwise, no sticker for you [middle eastern voice].

Spoke to Ralph about the decals. He is working on it, but is having to navigate CT Corp's various rules and regs. Might take a little time, but he is working on it. I think he also appreciated that several of us were willing to carry the logo.

Yep, thanks for the update. I was there a couple days ago myself and had the same chat with him!

More props for Ralph and Phil and CT Carling.. :chug:

I had my XR in for a high speed wobble that's being buggin me for a while and they fixed me right up! I especially appreciated Phil taking it out for a drive before AND after, to gather data and to ensure the fix!

I had heard good things about the crew there and now I'm a believer, :thumbup:

Thanks!

Is there any chance those lads know anything about real Volvos, specifically the later ('88 and up) 240 series?
