[QUOTE="Keith Tedford, post: 53147, member: 1228"] When it comes to cars and performance, I must be one of the most fortunate people around. In '65 I got into a tool and die apprenticeship at GM Oshawa. That in itself was like winning the lottery. The good paying job right from the start allowed me to own a string of very decent musclecars over the years. The Supertest garage that my buddy Ken and I hung out at most was in Mount Pleasant west of Peterborough. When boarding in Oshawa I used to hang out at a Shell 24 hour gas station on the south-east corner of Thickson road and Highway 2 between Whitby and Oshawa. The Mount Pleasant garage has been closed for years and the one on highway 2 is now a gas bar. It's sad. At one time, in our village, there were at least three garages and another two places with just the pumps in front of their stores. None today at all. We have to drive six miles just to get a fill up. Here are shots of some of the cars that we were able to enjoy. [/QUOTE]
