Two more episodes online!

And don't worry... I didn't eat a contaminated pickle. The magic of television.

With zero knowledge on bikes, I asked around to people who knew much more than I did. Honda CBs kept coming up with almost everyone I talked to. This one came up for sale for a reasonable price so I...

Didn't pay much at all. $300 for the complete one and $100 for the parts bike.

I've actually talked to a few guys who have taken this on pretty long trips with success. They are a bit buzzy being...

I've always thought about tinkering on a bike, but before I started on this project I had absolutely no knowledge or experience with them. The best way for me to learn is by getting my hands dirty,...

WAS alive. Under the knife again now to fix a fuel leak, a U-joint, a bent exhaust and a few minor little issues. Always going to have something to fix though.

Haven't updated this thread in a while!

The Cross-Canada rally was a huge success! Here is the recap:

Facebook event now up for those interested!

Didn't think so. Thanks guys.

I'm thinking of purchasing a '72 240z and one of the previous owners shaved the bumpers. :thumbsdow

I really like the 240z with OEM bumpers, but they are long gone and can be a bit tricky to...

The Solstice 700 Rally is a non-competitive fun run though the Canadian foothills and Rocky Mountains, starting in High River, Alberta on Saturday, June 18, 2016 and ending in Canmore on Sunday, June...

Yep, that's the one that is still around. I heard the owner is in Red Deer.

Well I found out that only 34 of these were shipped to Canada, and 25 came to Edmonton. Thanks to Facebook, I know have two of those 25. Picked up the other one last night. It's even less complete...

Yeah, I scrapped the Honda plan pretty quick. I've potentially found a couple engines. One here in Canada and I've found a few guys in India who said they can source one for me. Fingers crossed!

I've contacted the main RE parts suppliers in the UK and it's not looking good for engine parts. They don't have very much for this particular motor. Motoparts in Edmonton doesn't have antyhing...

Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited to get started on it. Getting parts looks like it will be a bit of a challenge but there are some suppliers in the UK hopefully will be able to help me out.

I was absolutely not looking for another project but I came across one I couldn't pass up. The bike is a 150CC '59 Royal Enfield Prince. All REs are made in India now, but this one was built when it...

UPDATE: We left June 10, trying to make it to Vancouver, blew a wheel bearing between Kamloops and Merritt, which...

Thanks for all the comments guys. We'll definitely be taking lots of photos and video.

We've also just announced that our goal is to raise $10 for every mile we drive, so if you are interested in...

I wanted to share with you guys the crazy project I've been working on for the past 10 months or so! You may have seen my build thread on my Volvo Amazon and this is the reason I have been building...

Thanks for all the comments guys. It's less that 2 months before I depart on my crazy 5000-mile cross Canada rally. You can read more about my rally at www.Canada5000.ca, but basically I'm taking...

Looking for an aftermarket steering wheel for my '67 Volvo. I like wood wheels a lot, so a Nardi Classic would be great, but I'm open to anything.

PM me or email davesclark at gmail dot com.

I've read that it actually holds up pretty well. Time will tell though. I'll definitely do a follow up post down the road as I plan on racking up the miles on this car.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Over the last few days, I set out to restore a set of $20 seats that I had bought for my 122S. I cleaned them up, stitched up where they had split, and painted...

Picked up a Volvo 122S this weekend, which I'm planning on building into a long-distance rally and road trip car. These cars dominated many grueling rallies in the '60s because they are tough as...

Thanks for the opinions guys. The cottage is indeed in the Whiteshell, where the taxes have been very cheap for years.

As for maintenance, it has been really low. The cottage has been built with...

I'm looking for some options to help my family cottage from being sold. The cottage is in Manitoba and was built by my grandfather in the 1950s. I've got their every year of my life since I was 5...

Agree with your list except the E-Type. I don't see anything unmanly about arguably the best looking car ever built.

I know my experience at Race City pales in comparison to many of the members here, but I wanted to share a post I made on my memories of the track.

Blog is here:...

Looking for wheels to fit a BMW E21 or E30. Would prefer 15" but I'll consider 14" or 16". Bolt pattern is 4x100. et10-20 offset.

Older Volkswagen wheels may work as well!

The actual trip into the desert from Marrakech wasn't too bad. It was €250 per person. That was for transportation by private driver there and back, one night in the motel, one night in the camp and...

It was a sad sight! But being so far from anywhere, stripping it of anything valuable was likely the only option!

Decided to do something a little different for my 30th birthday and took a two-week trip to Morocco. The highlight was going to Erg Chigaga, which is an expanse of sand dunes in the Sahara desert. It...

GC8 front strut bar $90 obo

WRX 17mm sway bar. Fits GC8 and is a good upgrade over stock. $40 obo

Best to email davesclark at gmail dot com or text 78o-7o9-6746. Located in Edmonton but making...

Yeah I did see that. Actually the owner posts on one of the Lotus forums I'm on. He still hasn't driven the car because it isn't finished. As of earlier this month, it still wasn't drivable.

I'm...

I can get parts from California but they are incredibly expensive compared to the ones in the UK. I priced out a number of bushings, brackets, hardware and suspension components in the UK and it was...

Hahaha very light. I lifted it into the truck myself. The car stock I think weighed about 1700 pounds. The two seater Elans are down around 1500!

The restoration has been so easy so far because...

I found a car in Calgary that isn't running that I need trailered back to Edmonton. Is anyone hauling a car the other way by any chance? If so, let me know. I'd throw in money for your gas and extra...

I've been busy since my last update!

Pulled the engine. Easiest engine removal ever. Literally took 10 minutes.
