(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I only refrence the "land of Arnold" as there seems to be so many teeners there and you are always dropping by to swap parts, beers, stories, drop someones engine etc... Up here in the "great White North" not many teeners have survived...and the few teeners here seem to be spread pretty thin. Every time we need to get a part (new or used) or a tool...or some expert 914 service we seem to have to go State side....when we do... the shipping charges are not too bad, but then there's customs (duty) which is really just an insult...however far worse than that, to pay the duty requires a customs broker...UPS, FedEX, Purolator are not shy about hammering huge service charges to do the duty paperwork...even the USPS/Canada Post get you pretty good. (At least our dollar is almost the same now) So If'n we few canucks were to trade amongst ourselves, we could even use greyhound bus for cheap shipping and save a bundle.... Nuthin' 'gainst U 'mericans....just want to see who's local. Maybe we can go for beers too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) BTW we don't have a "President" up here...we got's us a "Prime Minister"eh.... Cheers, Sean |
