I am originally from Hudson Bay, just on the other side of the border, from SW.

Did you get your car through Formo motors? The dealer I got mine though is a sub dealer from them.

Actually, the dealer in Hudson Bay. It isn't called Formo Motors there, but he is under Formo's umbrella. (Unlike precville, which is actually called Formo Motors)

I ended up getting an 05 black GT (see sig). It arrived 2 months late, but atleast it showed up. He (the dealer) had an allocation of 1 GT, and I was lucky enough to get it. It was prob because the last mustang he sold, was also to me.

Looks Great! Although I wonder when Manitoba is going to get with the picture, and drop the front plate requirement.

They dropped it in the 80's for a bit but the police wanted them back on so they changed it again .
I think in the future when aluminum prices really start to go up I'm sure they will change there minds to save some money ,after all 1 millon cars = 2 million plates thats quite a savings there in the long run if its only down to 1 a car.

Cost was the reason it was dropped in Sask, last year.
Its funny. The police forces female dog and wine about front plates. Their official excuse was not being able to run plates on on-comming cars.

I have a brother in the RCMP, and he tells me most regular patrol officers could give 2 poos about it. The real reason it is opposed by police is because traffic services have a more difficult time getting a reading with their laser guns, as they need a reflective surface to get a reading.
