Rembrant Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hey Peter, Here is a pic of the wife and I when we visited the Maggies back in 2011. I forget which end of the island we were at here, but you will know. Gary, if you're still following along, Peter lives in a very interesting place. It may look somewhat close on the map, but he's two islands away from me and probably a full day of travel including the ferries. A unique treat found in the Atlantic end of Quebec is Pizza aux fruits de mer (Seafood Pizza)! Did I get the translation right Peter? Anytime I've traveled to the Gaspe or eastern parts of Quebec, I'd eat seafood pizza every day...lol. Had to go to Port Cartier last winter and had Seafood Pizza every night while I was there;).

Last summer I went to Halifax and it took me about 9 hours including the 5 hour ferry to PEI.

Rembrant Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yeah that’s not bad at all. I guess it’s just the drive to souris and then you can relax on the ferry. If you make it down again be sure to let me Know:) When you get to your engine swap maybe I’ll take the truck up to see you anyway to help you get rid of some bullnose parts!

Gary Lewis Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 That's cool. And, maybe REALLY cold right now. I realize that the temps are moderated by the ocean, but it still has to get cold. Right? Does the water get warm enough to truly enjoy in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right?Does the water get warm enough to truly enjoy in the summer?It’s always windy, we get cold weather, but not that big of a winter. If we can get a month or more of snowmobiling we consider it good, the snow all blows away. And in the summer it’s not that warm but we’re used to the cold so we enjoy the breeze. It’s warm enough for outdoors activities and swimming in the ocean. But it’s tolerable heat, unlike in the cities where it’s like 35 degrees Celsius. We can survive without air conditioning if that gives you an idea.

If I'm lucky and the EFI + ZF5 get him to 14 MPG, which is a lofty goal for a 460, that'll still be a far cry from the 35 MPG Janey's car gets. Then there's comfort, or the lack thereof. Plus where to put the luggage. Plus..... But we could take Blue, which has the comfort and significantly better MPG than BB. And we could take some parts to people or pick up parts to bring back.
