Anyone From Saskatchewan...

Hey everyone. I've been reading threads on this site for a long time now and thought I'd start a thread for pure interest.

How many people on these boards are from Saskatchewan?
Anyone know if there is any good rotary shops in Saskatchewan?

My ride is a 1985 Mazda RX-7 which is currently sleeping for winter. In srping though it'll be coming alive!
Right now it has a stock 12a w/ 128,xxx km on it.
It has been running pretty good, but the carb needs to be set up I think. The engine has a miss at idle, and when you give her full gas she floods herself and you have to backoff - this is most apparent in 3rd gear.

Anyway, just wanted to hi to everyone and see how many people there are from Saskatchewan that have RX-7s - or anything rotary powered for that matter.
If you guys know of anyone, or any shops, perferably in the Saskatoon area that would be great.

My most recent pics are here "http://members.shaw.ca/subject2change/mazda

I used to be as well. I was born in Yorkton and have been back a couple of times but I live in Ontario now. I miss Saskatchewan though and the west in general.

Cool, I'll be watching on the road for you guys this summer. You probably won;t see me till around mid April if it ever stops snowing and the snow finally melts since my car has never been winter driven..and I'm trying to keep that gooding...
Good to hear there are a few Saskatchewan people on here!

manntis and brycer 77....any pics of your cars? Then I'll know which ones to look out for this summer!
84stock, I've been to Calgary a few times also...damn..I like the city in summer to, especially when driving through and when you are on top of that big hill looking down...Calgary is so huge and if I lived there I'd definately have to get used to it. There also seems to be a lot of nice cars there as well!
Anyone else that posted and or didn't post and have pics of your cars..I'd love to see them. I was looking for that other thread of pure car pics..but I didn't see any of your cars!

Pamela went off a mountain last summer.

Carmen, her replacement, will be on the road this summer - a black GSL-SE with Savannah badges and Enkei rims.
