    gt40 wanted in canada

    Hi. Here's an email excerpt from a member in BC. <I would be interested. If there is strong documentation to show the car was built and registered in 1996, then it would meet the 15 year old exemption for Transport Canada and I could import it without much hassle. So, send me some info...

    Tom, the hand from Wyoming says, "I must be the strongest, meanest, toughest cowboy there is. Why, just the other day, a bull got loose in the corral. It had gored six men before I wrestled it to the ground by the horns with my bare hands and castrated that sucker with my teeth." Ben, from...
