I am a regional airline pilot with Air Canada JAZZ. For now. I'll be taking a leave-of-absense and going to Antigua for 6 months to fly for an airline down there. Unfortunately I'll have to park my MINI in the garage for 6 months, and won't be able to drive it over the summer. SUCKS. But I will be living in the Caribbean, where the rum is cheaper than the mix.

Professional driver, During the week I operate the largest trucks in Canada. Then on the weekend I drive my MINI.

Charles, do you ever drive the "road trains?" As in 2*45 foot trailers?

Paul

tip · Apr 5th, 2003, 10:06 PM

No paul. I just haul 53' trailers. 22 wheels in Canada and 18 wheels in the states. I would like to drive the trains that they have in NY or Quebec the haul two 53' trailers about 125' long totally awesome.

I'm not sure where you are (I'm in the Toronto area), but I've always wondered where the R.C.M.P. patrol. I see regional Police and O.P.P. everywhere, but I can't recall having ever seen an R.C.M.P. vehicle (or officer).

Another geek here

I am a web developer/designer/site planner. Oh I sometimes do publishing designs too.

BTW nice site you have there scollins

I like the color scheme.

Mr Grean · Apr 21st, 2003, 10:47 PM

Shawn...in Ontario the RCMP does Federal Statute stuff only...In all other Provinces (except Ontario & Quebec) we provide a mixture of Provincial and Municipal policing...so you'll have to leave Upper Canada to see a "real working Mountie"...unless you geta ticket on the Vanier Parkway in Ottawa.

Godzappa, nice website!

I do have one cavil though: under "PROFILE" you should add an apostrophe after "clients". Typos can be a killer.

godzappa · May 3rd, 2003, 10:30 AM

Cheers Humourl3ss,

Fixed

You'd think that I'd have caught that seeing as its the name of the company

tip · May 3rd, 2003, 10:47 AM

Whilst we are spelling, Godzappa.
In your banner you have the word "Xeons" to describe the lighting system on the car that you have ordered. Change it to "Xenons" okay.

Cheers mate,

Charles

P.S Godzappa are you coming to the BBQ June 29th? details are at www.somc.on.ca the more the merrier bring your partner and if you have children they are welcome too.

godzappa · May 3rd, 2003, 10:57 AM

Done Tip, sure I was told they were Xeons, doh

BBQ sounds fun, and hopefully we'll have our Cooper by then, will let you know, cheers

Dave · May 7th, 2003, 01:04 AM

mikkol · May 7th, 2003, 02:57 AM

Emm.. godzappa.. I wonder if my browser got some problems but I cannot browse the portfolio section of your website. All the numbers either do nothing or somehow restart the whole scene. Is it just me?

godzappa · May 7th, 2003, 03:01 AM

Hi Mikkol

The portfolio was recently taken down to be 'renovated', the new content should be up soon, I've been so busy it's taken longer to finish it then I had planned.
