Hi Rory
Correct, I am from Manitoba. Also correct on the CJ & owner. I've known Don since the early 80's. We met one day when I drove by his house with my 70 hemi cuda. I quess he was outside when I rolled by, saw/heard it & jumped into his car & followed me home. We've had a few street bashes over the years both in town & deserted highways. Next time you see him, ask him bout the time he didn't see a cop at an intersection previous to one of our street bashes. I tried to get his attention, but Don was too busy looking at the lights waiting for the green. In total disbelief, I watched as he proceeds to launch the car right in front of the cops. He made it into 2nd before the cherries came on. I still remember the look on his face as I idled by. He was actually able to talk himself out of any tickets. Yup, quite the guy.
