• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Canam Dealer prices / hour for labor ?

    It seems like all the dealers in an area are about the same price - it seems like collusion if you ask me. :) That is one of the reason I try to do what I can myself or find a more cost-effective way to get things done. I found the things I did myself were not bad, I now know my machine...
