I'm close to there when I'm not here for school. I don't know of any other guys from lethbridge I've seen some sevens around but never while in my seven. Nor have I seen others on this forum but we'll see who shows. When you moving and what you moving for.

I was out there in September, working between Lethbridge and Pincher Creek, and found it to be a beautiful area. And Lethbridge has grown enough to have some city amenities that smaller towns lack. Low cost of living, too - $900/month gets you a decend 3 bedroom house.

Since a lot of my work these days is writing and website design, I can do that from anywhere with a high speed connection.

Yeah its pretty nice here/there. I'll probably actually move there myself when I start working again and have the income to actually move out of the parents house since I'm only in calgary semi temporary for school.

Yeah, I saw a red Fc as far out as taber once and went a little bit crazy hahaha, i think i saw a blue or maybe grey one heading off the #3 down a farm road between taber/coaldale and a red fc and a fb if I remember correctly in lethbridge.

so you like wind? i lived there for 2 years, i only meet one guy with a seven and he was a stupid kid i worked with. you should go there for the HUGE car show in the summer (i cant remember the name of it) all though the rotary is not well shown in the bridge old big blocks v8 are all over the place. go visit for a bit, stop by the duke (bar on the westside, the best bar ) and go to waterton or to the crowsnest pass. if you want more of my lethbridge stories just pm me.

Yeah this is mostly v8 country which is nice because it makes rotary like even more of an exotic when the rednecks aren't talking there usual rotary misinformation, and the car shows name is street wheelers these days its been through a few name changes tho I think so I cant remember for sure now.

Hey D, Tiana and I are in Black Diamond, only about 1-1/2 hours north of Crowsnest Pass via Hwy 22. And one of the best RX-7 gurus available anywhere (Max T.) lives less than six blocks from me. PM me when you're back in the neighbourhood.

Do you have contact information for Max ? I sent him PM but would like to talk to him if you have shop information.

free long distance computer-to-computer worldwide, $14/year for unlimited long distance from my computer to your phone anywhere in North America.

It's like Vonage, but far cheaper and no need for an adapter plug or other hardware. Some people use dual-mode cordless phones so it'll ring whether you call through their landline or skype digital accounts - and I just bought a box off ebay to do so if I choose - but for now I use my cellphone headset as a wireless (bluetooth) Skype headset or plug in my gaming headset if I'm in front of my computer.
