Yesterday, I plowed my laneway, and decided to snap a couple pics of the Eclipse while it was warming up for it's semi monthly start up and idle. I know it looks like there's snow in the garage, that's just my boots tracking it in.

When we had our major snow falls (yes, that's plural)..this is what I had to deal with. And the MDX got stuck at the end of the laneway

At work, we've been digging out cars daily. 1 row at a time. Allowing for the plow to it's job (questionable skills but done none the less)..



This isn't me, one of my co-workers..to give you an idea of how much snow we have.







We bring them in overnight to thaw.

Mine is going great now, I just got home from winning my court case for my exhaust

How did you manage to win that?

Wish we had that kind of snow in Brampton!

In the police report the cop put in a diagram of how the Eclipse oem exhaust is supposed to be...right in the title it said 1995-1999 Eclipse GS(excl. turbo), so I argued that this was not the correct diagram as the car is the turbo model and that to my best knowledge the exhaust on the car was OEM.

The crown objected saying the sub model was irrelevant to the style of the exhaust, which the judge didn't buy.

Come get some plenty to go around! lol

+4 degrees here and sunny, our snow is melting. Calling for +7 and rain this weekend!!

Our winter is actually pretty good.

We had just a few meaningfull snow falls; one was prety much 6" and a few less than an inch. Weather has been pretty much between -1 and +3 DegC (daytime) over the last week or so. I can see grass in a few areas of my lawn. At present time; my driveway is also deprived of the white stuff!!!

All in all that is pretty much what I can stomach for snow or cold weather; did I say that I hate winter... Living in a tropical climate would be just fine for me.

Anti-SnowManGiz!!!

Should be similar here over the next few "daze".

It's going great! Look what we build for my daughter



Too bad it most likely will melt before the end of week

That's awesome Alex! it's a bungaligloo

Anyone else take some winter pics?

Got one of my children playing the other day.

LOL cute pups! they must love the snow, seeing as they're huskies.

Hey did anyone notice the speedo on the truck?

Back to this for a quick second, how did you WIN if the judge didn't buy it? am I missing something?

I'm assuming the crown was unable to sell their story. Probably due to the fact that it states clearly that the diagram is for all models "but" the turbo! It's all in the details in court

He's saying that the judge didn't buy the crown's argument, is all..

Awww I see. Duhhh

Some winter pic's!

This was today close to Kaladar(hwy 7). Snow still deep enuf on cottage rd to scrape bottom.


Nassau just before Christmas from our room.


Lent my boat to someone,lol


Bahamaian rides!



Girlfriend and I last weekend around Kingston.

Bingo.

Hey Wade, it looks like you're having a hell of a time you lucky dog!! I wish I was somewhere tropical over the holidays.

It's pretty rare seeing an R34 sedan around these parts but they were also EVERYWHERE when I was in New Zealand a few years back for 1 month. And the odd V-Spec

Funny thing you post that picture of the 20" chrome wheels. They are the EXACT same as a 4G Eclipse around Ottawa. I'll see if I can find a pic of it.

How fast are those Ski-Doo's?

No luck yet, but came across this and thought of Guillaume

CLICK ME

Nail polish carbon fiber?

bad fitment, must not be a Seibon

The Formula is only 100 to 120 kmh sled depending on conditions; but the Rev SDI(semi direct injection) will do well over hundred mph, and still gives me butterflies on full acceleration!

Don't you love that feeling?

Kind of like falling in love isn't it?

I just figured it needed the gauge modual rebuilt like the rest.

Man I missed all the snow! Got back from Aruba with the wife last week, enjoyed the sun, beaches and did some serious coastal off-roading in a 4x4

I've legit seen this boat before down south. I think it was St. Thomas.

I'll throw up some picture of how we clear an airport next time is snows. You call that a plow?! lol



Couldn't find a better picture, but this thing hauled ass. Had it up to 196 and decided "alright... that's enough...." I'm too poor for a sled of my own, but this was my bro's. I guess there isn't much else to do up in Petawawa during the winter months.

My initial winter period was occupied by me doing almost nothing because I had to let my MCL in both knees heal (Hockey injury I got just before Christmas, tore them while stopping the breakaway and taking the guy head-on because he apparently really wanted that goal....Made the save though ;P).



Hehe Huge tires though! Funny enough I'm actually working one of those really expensive 1g 1/16 models to look like a Plymouth Laser since I have one now. It'll be the only one of it's kind (with no spoiler as well).

yep, it stopped clicking over at 399kms..probably a few years back hahaha

Reza - any more pics of the offroading?

Johnny - It's better than the $500 blower I was looking at FOR THE SAME PRICE It's hilarious to drive, doesn't have a high gear, 1st, 2nd and reverse plus the 4X4 works too. All I need lol

G - Sorry to hear about your injury bro! You and Saloman can be buds now that you both have bummed knees..geez I wonder, how will it affect your clutching?

196??? COME ON!! that's a typo right?

I have a lot more, though most of them are more scenic ones that my wife took from the Jeep as I would pull over every now and then to get out to enjoy the views on the East coast. We started at the Northern tip of the Island and worked our way along the East coast on broken bumpy dirt roads, through pools of water that accumulated from rainfall, and climbing up and down some ragged rocky turns and slopes, until we got to the most Southern point of the Island, called Baby Beach. It was pretty much a slow bumpy crawl through the East coast for about 4-5 hours which only a 4x4 can handle. It wasn't too dangerous, you just have to take it easy as some rocks can be sharp and you don't want them penetrating the Jeeps tires. We pretty much lapped the island in 6 hours. I'll post up some more scenic photos later

I was wondering what you were driving. Good thing you're no NEWB when it comes to 4x4

anyone else leave the country for vacay over the holidays?

Rented a 2011 2-door Jeep Wrangler.

Nope. 196Kph. If that doesn't tighten up your balloon knot a bit, nothing will.
Stand by, looking for the video. Good thing the camera has GPS

So I lied... the spedo said 196, the GPS says 182. Still fast enough for me


UGH!!! Y U NO ZOOM?!?!

There, use that.

There wasn't any change in elevation or hump or bump for about 3 miles. Solid hard packed snow. So fun.

That's crazy! I have done that many times on a bike, but that is paved roads. Snow doesn't sound as flat.

I've had snowmobiles up in the 170-180 range before. It's a blast to say the least but yah, when you're at that speed you realize just how screwed you'd be if even the slightest thing went wrong, especially given that I've typically done this on frozen lakes where the ice is nice and thick...perfect for breaking a fall!

The craziest part is letting off the throttle and the snowmobile slowing down so fast you feel like you're going to get launched forward off it (especially if there are any bumps). Pretty much never need to actually use the brakes on one.
