For any of you that know the Missisauga area, you may have heard of Cawthra Road or Cawthra House. They are named for my family. Although the western branch of the family was somewhat frowned upon, being farmers, I am a direct descendant. Glen, the design is fab and I think it would look great with my Maple Leaf when Pete quits gabbing here and gets it done. That's it for now and you guys have a great time at all the events you have planned!

Please welcome the President of the BC chapter of SOKS "Big Mikey" everyone (even though it's a Mississauga connection).

Tonight was our annual general meeting for my coast guard unit. I just stepped down from my executive. I am no longer a Vice-Commander but merely an Acting Captain. So what does this mean? More time with my kilted rabble (and paintball oh and kids)! FIRST ROUND IS ON ME NEXT FRIDAY! Oh and an extra one for McMurdo for emailing me a sexy, navel-baring picture of Improv's sister c1970.

I am pretty sure you can get a shirt, I was kind of joking when I said that about getting to a kilt night, if i were you I would PM Pete as he has taken the ball and run with it, thanks for the compliments on the logo.

Do you think one day we can meet in the middle for a kilt night, lets say Alberta somewhere?

lol Save some of these antics for Friday April 27th. ;) Once again, I think a black large would be great. Great SOKS logo. Great rabble... Grant, I still owe you a brew, too, so perhaps you should arrange a DD? And Pete, I'll probably have a downpayment for my Maple Leaf then, too.

Friday April 27, 2007 at the Queen's Head in Oakville at what time?

well i'm not going to Kilt Night or playing Paintball anytime soon;
my van has broken down and I have no idea what is wrong.
it's sitting in a parking lot near the QEW and wont start.
my buddy Mansell and I have changed the fuel filter but that didn't fix it.
Mansell thinks that it maybe the coil that is gone,
so tomorrow we are going to find out if it can be tested to be sure.
either way I have no money to fix anything until the first of the month.
Fun wow!

anybody know anything about 1990 Lumina APV's ?

Won't start but cranks? Either fuel or ignition. Turn key to on do you hear the fuel pump whirl? May be located in the fuel tank or just ahead of a rear wheel. If that works, do you have spark? Pull a spark plug install spark plug boot and hold the SP with pliers about 1/8" from metal surface, crank engine do you see a spark?

changed fuel filter, fuel flow is fine, spark seems intermittent but we are unsure as the plugs were wet and we could be getting a faulty connection caused by grease and paint on metal parts.
we are taking another stab at her tomorrow.

Why were the plugs wet? Was it gasoline? Maybe the engine was flooded. Do you smell gas up front from the throttle body?

Oh and do these check kilted so that we can discuss it on this forum.
