We lived on an acreage in BC with city water and septic, had lots of neighbours with well water. When we bought, we got a separate septic inspection, but it didn't reveal much. After living with that undersized system from the early '80s for a few years (including navy showers and generally...

Can they make sure the ridiculous (and horribly tinny) sound systems that the black chaps crew seems to have taken on as de riguer are included in the tests? Having Back in Black dimed may make the rpm's irrelevant. I didn't think it was possible to make something even more irritating than the...

The best advertisement for AC is flying literally any of the US airlines. Doesn't matter which, American, Delta, United, they're all awful. And when I used to fly constantly for work, WestJet was far worse as well. More delays, missed connections etc. AC is far from perfect, but it's...

A genuine legend and one of the most influential of all time. His contribution to recording and engineering techniques alone are incredible, but add the songwriting and performing and he's one of the true greats. Pet Sounds is on most top 10 albums of all time for a reason. Time to dig out the...

Good to know. Not fussed about Invicta ownership from a snobbery standpoint, I have been more concerned about junk with a historic name glued to the dial with Glycine because I've never been able to see one in person. Glad to hear it's respectably finished and good value. Will keep my eyes...

Not sure if it'll address your particular issue, but there's some good general info here that might make a good starting point:

All the yolking about hating/loving Hamilton aside, it's a city with a lot of highs and some lows. Most see it from the Skyway, which naturally showcases the most obvious downside, but the industry of Hamilton is a big part of why I love the city so much. Everyone needs steel (especially in this...

How's the finishing? I love how thin the Combat Sub is for a diver, but have been leery about current Glycine because of the Invicta ownership.

Reminds me a bit of a fast-forward version of the GM bloat that came to a head in the late '00s. Pontiac, Chevrolet, Buick, Saturn, GMC, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Hummer, all at various points selling largely identical cars with different cabins and bodies. Each tried desperately to have a...

In looking this up, there was some discussion about making it optional as part of a 'cost saving' measure, but I don't think it was ever approved. As someone else pointed out, with the Ontario Insurance Cartels in charge, making it optional would simply mean removing it from existing rates at...

Ah, the two year cap is fine print I missed. Definitely makes it less compelling. Would cap the payout value at $62,400, which could be covered by other means in a pinch. That said, the above RBC coverage is paid per month, not week. The highest coverage they offer is $1500/mo, or about...

I'm in the market to swap insurance yet again, and am comparing quotes for my Moto Guzzi (which, in the grand tradition of Ontario insurance being inexplicable, is marginally more expensive to cover than my Tuono). One thing I see is the base income replacement coverage is a hilariously low...

The third guy is definitely an unusual choice, have seen many videos of him squealing at trains with a weird 360 camera on that distorts his face. I hope they try to carry on in the Throttle House style rather than just copy the Top Gear / Grand Tour template. Over the years, those shows...

Ticks two of my classified sale pet peeves: uncropped phone screenshots and reusing the dealer pics from when you bought the bike. If you can't be arsed to take and post up-to-date photos, it'd better be a heck of a deal...

So tempting but so Markham...

I swore off the NHL after watching the Canucks go out against the Bruins in 2011. I'm not even a Canucks fan, but I was a fan of that Sedin-led edition of the Canucks team who dominated the regular season with gorgeous passing hockey. Then the playoffs roll around, and same as every year, the...

Don't forget Bologna winning the Coppa Italia and a DFB-Pokal final between minnows Arminia Bielefeld and the faded glory of Stuttgart. The Champions League final will also have intrigue, whether it's the aging underdogs of Inter or the fresh-faced and moneyed PSG winning in their first year...

Oh, cool. That Post Vintage Formula 1 class is exactly what I was talking about. Superbike racing in the golden age. Curious what the class turnout will be...

Did they update it? I thought they capped it at 1997, no 996, no FI GSXR, no RC51, etc. Kawasaki never injected the ZX-7R, so it was eligible all years the last I checked.
