Access to McNutt is at the end of 256th up by the old Alouette Corrections Centre, but I'm sure it's all been gated off years ago.

When I first heard that these things came with a stick I thought, wtf, a stick, get out, that can't be stock. But it is. When I have my workboots on it's all I can do to "not" push the gas and brake at the same time. Toss another pedal in there and look out, it's going to be a rough ride. ...

"The cheap engineer of Christmas past". That's funny sh :-# t, but I think he works for John Deere now. The trannys that are in these vans are pretty stout for what is normaly required out of these vans. If you can keep the temperature in check, they will last for quite some time. Although...

I believe it is near the starter motor.

Hey, I grew up in Nanaimo.
Except for the bike gangs, what the hells with Nanaimo?

Thanks for the offer Smilie, but shipping is a problem.
Man, do I ever miss palm trees.
