Hello everyone ,

Just wanted to bring to your attention the fact that there is a new small automotive store/shop in Barrie . Some of you may know that I live there also ... ok ok it is my new little business that I am trying to promote Big Grin . The focus for now is on handling and stopping improvement . In short , the services offered are brakes and suspension repair / maintenance and upgrades , rims and tires sale and service , Alignments ,etc . Also offering OEM and Aftermarket parts and accessories . I have accounts with various suppliers such as Keystone and Napa . So I can provide you with the part , or install it too , if you can't do it yourself . To make it more interesting ( I hope ) , FC members will get a discount . As an example , an SVTF Ford Racing suspension kit - 4 dampers ,4 springs and rear sway bar - and I mean M-3000-zx3 , $353 + tax . Don't be mislead by Steeda , they advertise kit M-18000-zx3 as for SVT , which is for non SVTF and doesn't come with sway bar . For brake pads , I have OEM , Hawk and EBC . Anyway , just wanted to tell you about this new business .The address is 11 Hart drive , Unit # 7 , Barrie , just by the Hwy 400 . And now a little preview of the ... goods . It is still a work in progress , so have mercy Big Grin

Thank you very much guys . I will have to work my butt off now to get the customers in .I've been open for just over a week now and still need to work on signage and advertising . Kevin , are you at the order desk ?
Nick , are you coming to Mosport tomorrow ? It's suppose to be a nice day

Now I'm going to jack my own thread with a joke that I just received via e-mail . Hope you will like it too . Personally , I dig these because I used to be "down" with the brothers when living down south . Not sure if they was down with me too Big Grin
Here it goes :

‎​Black hurricanes...Well, it appears our African-American friends have found yet something else to be pissed about. A black congress-woman (this would be Sheila Jackson Lee, of Houston), reportedly complained that the names of hurricanes are all Caucasian sounding names.

She would prefer some names that reflect African

American culture such as Chamiqua, Tanisha, Woeisha, Shaqueal, and Jamal. I am NOT making this up!

She would also like the weather reports to be broadcast in 'language' that street people can understand because one of the problems that happened in New Orleans was, that black people couldn't understand the seriousness of the situation, due to the racially biased language of the weather report.



I guess if the weather person says that the winds are going to blow at 140+ MPH, that's too hard to understand.



I can hear it now: A weatherman in New Orleans says...Wazzup, mutha-fukkas! Hehr-i-cane Chamiqua be headin' fo' yo ass like Leroy on a crotch rocket! Bitch be a category fo'! So, turn off dem chitlins, grab yo' chirren, leave yo crib, and head fo' de nearest FEMA office fo yo FREE s**t!

Congratulations Gabriel - very exciting news.

x2 on the special FC.net hourly rate ... and what brand tires do you carry.

Also: just a bit of a clarification on your Ford Racing example in the OP - both kits are SVT spec and will fit any 00-04 non-wagon Focus.

The M-18000-ZX3 is an SVT spec damper kit for 00-04 that includes new dampers, bellows, strut mount, spring seats, strut bearing etc, etc.

The M-3000-ZX3 is an SVT suspension kit for 00-04 that includes dampers, springs and rear sway bar, but not the bellows, strut mount, spring seats or strut bearing.

Didnt mean to throw dirt on someone , it is just from specs I got from my catalog and the Ford Racing Catalog . As for tires , I can get anything from Bridgestone to Yokohama . Now , the availability depends on the season .
