Hi Guys, newbie here, that was my green SVT that was parked next to Cris'pus at WEM. I have been lurking around here since March 2005, when I started looking for a Contour SVT. I was lucky enough to find this car in Calgary in late April, and bought it.

Thanks for the note you left on my car.




Hey, i was looking at that Tropic, Calgary NE right? a guy in shaganappi ish area? had a high-flow resonater on it right? It was a nice car, but i couldent get it into 5th gear for some reason, looks like it was well taken care of. Hows the car treating you now?



I really like the car,and your right it was very well taken care of. I haven't had any trouble with 5th gear. Actually within the the first week that I had it I installed a b&m shifter, what a differance that made. I got all the receipts with the car when I bought it, and the transmission had been replaced at 70,000KM, there was problem with 2nd gear according to the dealer invoice.

I'm really enjoying this car, it really is a lot of fun to drive.
