Nice work!! I've had mine out for a while but we have had some unseasonalbly warm weather combined with the fact that I'm not a very good owner (I drive my car on dirty roads ) Enjoy that beauty while you can...winter will be back in Canada long before it's welcome

Happy for you. Will be glad when spring gets here so all the whining from up North stops. You Canadians get free health insurance doesn't that make up for the lack of sun.

Gawd, how do you guys do it? Makes me proud of you to be able to not drive your cars for months on end. I couldn't do it! Drove mine today between thunderstorms. The longest I have had to go without driving her is 10 days, and I was in Alaska fishing.
