[s-cars] S6 Avant in Canada? (No, but...)

[Randy Lewis]

Hi Hap & Igor,

Hap, the 824 is a monster; 10" impeller, electronic ignition, 8 hp stock, 5
speeds forward and 14 X 4 Pneumi's on 2WD.  Those are pretty cool stats and
upgrades, how does it perform in the drifts & 1/4 block ?....but the
Colorado Rockies pale in comparsion to the frozen wasteland of the Canadian
Prairies, where skin freezes in 30 seconds & wind whistles and gathers speed
as it blasts down from Alaska and the Yukon to ultimately cause havoc in the
US Heartland.   Every spring they still uncover early Canadian Pioneers
frozen and buried, a harsh and demanding test track for any S-Blower worth
it's weight in shear pins !!  I found a DIY upgrade in the latest edition of
Snow & Ice, where I replaced the multi directional crank handle with a new
billet titanium unit from  Furkitsnowin & Kold, a little two- inuit
specialty shop just south of the 'Circle ( ya, the Arctic Circle!) dedicated
to helping you blow when you want to go.

Igor, that is a heck of a deal.....can't seem to find any specs or reviews
on your S-blower, are you sure it is a Toro, maybe it is a grey market
blower, made in Asia, sort of like those fake Rolex's !!  How big is your
impeller??  Width is king here in Tundra Ville, Hap sounds like he has 12"
on you !!!

Now this is getting good, need your help here Dave!!!...

Randy
close to the circle and where hockey players don't use self propelled
s-blowers, now you know why we win!...okay, that was cheap.
