  1. Pretty sure any association with MPIC would not happen. It has been attempted before BTW. They would only want to have ANY association if the other party be a "certified"  and recognized body such as a national driver training center but even then they steer clear as to not show any favoritism to one over another. Liability and public perception is a real thing with them understandably so.

  2. They would not be matched (as seen in the pic) but for A/X some may work. Might not give you the best time but would definately be better than all seasons. come have a look.

  3. 8 Nexen 225 45 R/15 tires with varying tread left (mismatched wear for road course use) with no punctures or bead rash. Open to offers, great tires for drifting.

  4. LOL, very similiar to the amount of effluent coming out of Ottawa.

    I have never heard of summer vs winter gas let alone any mandates. There is a switch from #1 and #2 diesel at the formentioned times of the year but that is simply because diesels will NOT run here in the middle of winter on #2 diesel.

    And last chart I saw taxes equalled 68% the total cost of gasoline.

  6. First off, I fully understand the need and process for noise abaitment by modification of exhaust  there are many other sources produced by our cars. 

    Tires, intake, turbos, driveline, etc. Even stock daily drivers can produce sound levels above your 96 db target. 

    I am not saying we should scrap the effort but I believe the level is a bit of a pipe dream.

    There are also other methods we have not discussed. Berms, vegitation, panel fencing even billboards can be strategically placed to reduce noise travel in certain directions.

    It may not be enough nor the only way we can become "good neighbours".

    If this is a true effort we should think about modifications to GMP as well to help reduce sound travel from ALL users.

    We should also do  distance and direction noise level testing to find out exactly what our issues are and whom they affect. Look at what the direction of the wind has on sound travel.

    We are after all operating beside an airport that does not live within these guidlines. Yes, I already hear the people saying but .....

    and I agree, an effort, any and all efforts, are signs to the minucipality that we are being proactive. 

    Natural barriers are signs of long term commitments.

    I tested the one on Henderson north of peguis, the regent one across from the casino and the North mcphillips one. All of these don’t have ethanol in their premium confirmed. Prob others also but these are the ones I drive by 

    Could be just old stock (in underground tanks) as all fuel in Winnipeg comes from one of two hoses (Shell and Esso).

  8. Once you have read the posts you wish to read, you can clear the other posts you do not wish to read by selecting the "Mark site read" in the upper right corner on the desktop veiw. On the mobile view, select the drop down menu pop up by clicking the three horizintal bars in the top right corner. The drop down menu contains the "Mark site read" option. This won't dlete the posts just remove them from your list of unread posts.

  9. The fact that at least someone on council has the cranium capacity to realize the municipality has a gem that they need to dust off and promote. And that council has an obligation to consult with  members of the community and different users of the property in the future of GMP. A fire sale tactic should definitely not be considered. The property, as many other assets, has more value than just a fixed dollar amount. History, heritage and a source of draw for the town of Gimli are definite concerns that need to be considered.

    I think the more interested groups that learn about what was going on the better chance it remains as status quo. Perhaps it could be considered a "Heritage Site" with all the rich history. ;)

    Any consultant worth their salt is going to inform the CDC to not lose an asset with such a past, present and future value. One thing you can't make more of... land.
