I was just about to make a thread for local lightnings.Does anyone know by any chance of a lightning or SVT club for alberta or calgary?

I was planning on making a trip up to edmonton this summer. Just waiting for everyone to get sick of race city first.

hey Fordifaction you should come up to castrol on friday. i do not know of a svt or lightning club in alberta. should would be sweet to start one. maybe one day in the summer ill drive to calgary and come cruising with you. or if ur interested every thursday night here in red deer there is a car show at the parking lot behind super store off of gatez ave southbound. then after the car show some people all go cruising around red deer for a lil bit. be cool to have another lightning to cruise with, im getting a lil sick of cruising with a pack of mustangs all the time haha

hey i asked you to go to cayuga and you didn't want to go.....now you want to go with these other guys eh!??

thanks! might be a consideration. It'd be cool to watch the board for others in the area and plan a meet, if possible.

we have our car shows wednesday nights, at the deerfoot mall. some big turnouts so far.

MJG

LOL maybe I should have thrown in If my motor is ok before my comment.

I will make it out to cayuga with you Sean, just now with this possible piston ring/valve stem issue, who knows when I will be able to.
Spoke with JJ about it, if it is indeed a piston ring there are some products that may be able to fix it without tearing my motor apart. We'll find out!

Anyway, I know the feeling of being the only L in a crowd of mustangs.
Here in the Greater Toronto Area there are a surprising number of Lightnings, I count about 15-20 to date that I definately know of or have seen ripping by, but NONE are really into them, with the exception of maybe 3, I seem to be the only 'Enthusiast' that's within driving distance.

Have fun EH!

fordification

I've seen a few daily drivers around here, fairly beat up, driven in the winter too.
Nice in a way, to be able to stand out in the crowd.

I would think there would be some kind of SVT club in each province, no?

MJG

Yes there is, there's the SVTOA 'ontario association' here.
Should be one there

Well, I'm going to try to go on Friday...depends on the weather.

well guys, im sorry to dissapoint but i dont think i can make it to the strip on friday night. the lovely town of lacombe i work in thinks its not a good idea to post up wet paint signs when there painting the roads. so the whole passenger side of my truck has bright white paint all over it. rims, fender whells, side skirts, some on the door, the box, tires everywhere. I used scrtatchx and megiuars paint cleaner to get it off.. it helpd a lil but i had to use a good high power pressure washer at work. but the finder wheels are still covered in white paint and it looks horible. they half to come out to be cleaned real well and il probally re-paint the fender wheels. Anyway I wil be at the 100foot shoot out in rocky mountain house on saturday.

Im sorry guys i had to let down the pack. But we should really start up some club for Lightnings, i think cobra's have there own club around here if im right. It would be cool. Have a local meeting somewhere different once a month. like one month calgary, one month e-town, one month red deer, maybe even banff who knows. anyway we should all get onto this club thing.

That sucks about the paint. Maybe another time
