Greetings Alexander!
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Alexander Bilan wrote to Don Guy:

Figgures they'd do that. [sigh]

Perhaps there will be a way to have a vehicle "officially" declared an 
antique, thereby only requiring the original smog equipment (if any) to be in 
place. A fellow I lived beside a few years ago was restoring a '27 Chrysler 
something-or-other; 't would be a shame to have to alter that one...
 #AB#> And even there, what sort of power do they have in that? The only

Currently that's all. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to extend the long arm 
of the law a bit further if there was enough behind it.
 #AB#> No doubt. Though, Toronto area always has seen the agressive cop on

Camaro patrol vehicles, eh? I've been down there a few times, and I must 
admit I've never noticed one. What do they do, tease muscle cars into drags 
and then arrest 'em for speeding?

Perhaps, but considering the roadside safety blitz that was going on at the 
beginning of this month, I doubt it'll miss us. I keep meaning to pick up a 
newspaper, but I've been too busy these past few days to remember--what 
initially looked to be a simple transmission swap, has turned into a pain in 
the butt. I found out *after* dismantling everything, that the replacement 
driveshaft I bought is too short. Not to mention that I need a new 
crossmember too. Argh. Thank goodness for friends that don't mind loaning 
cars. :-)
