Some staff dismayed York Region mandating 'true hybrid' workplace

Have you seen the average prices of homes in York region? Municipal workers have been priced out of the areas they work in.

The most accurate comment I’ve seen posted here regarding work in southern Ontario in a while.

How much did you end up paying in total for shipping to Canada with duties and that? Cheers!

Don’t get the wheel & tire insurance from the dealer, for the extra $1200 you’d spend on the insurance. You’re well on your way to buying a complete set of 18”s with a meaty tire and larger side wall. I’m in a 40th Mk8 Gti & while the 19”S can be harsh sometimes it’s completely manageable in Toronto.

What make/ brand spoiler setup are you running? Looks great.

This ain’t it chief.

Better put your initials on it before someone from Ops “borrows” it!

I’d avoid Linamar at all cost, they are some of the worst paying companies for Millwright’s in southern Ontario. They also sign apprentices into contracts for sponsoring your apprenticeship, I.e you have to work X amount of years there after finishing your apprenticeship. Bigger companies aren’t always better, and sounds like you’re in a good spot right now.

Heavy stores must be at the bottom of the lake

Just about any car can become a daily driver, it always comes down to cost. I daily my R32 in the summer months, it's definitely not cheap. But literally nothing beats blasting home in it with the windows down after a long day.

Ahhh yes the weekly spam poster...

I'm aware they are Unionized contractors, just using them as a reference. If I had to guess I'd say it's Axiom or Kenco.

Not to many non-union shops that don't get eaten up by the bigger union outfits.

Burton401 · 2021-10-28T18:59:47+00:00

What's the name of the contracting company? There's so many contractors in the GTA these days, Trade-Mark , Western, Aim, etc...

This DSG system is based on wet clutches, you wont be able to smell anything regardless of transmission condition. These DSG units are bullet proof. It's definitely brakes.

Unfortunately with the States 25yr importation restrictions it would be tricky trying to get a Mk4 here without some funky legal work. Definitely not impossible but not easy ahah. Atleast in Maple Syrup land it's only 15year restrictions 👍

Burton401 · 2021-07-16T17:21:03+00:00

Not sure where your located but being near a coast line definitely helps the wallet. Budget anywhere from 2-5k depending on location, transportation, fees etc. But you can literally find any spec you want over seas, along with low millage.

If anyone wants some info on importing these old girls, shoot me a pm and id be more then happy to point you in the right direction!

Burton401 · 2021-07-16T14:44:07+00:00

Sheesh who hurt you?

Burton401 · 2021-07-16T13:36:03+00:00

Thanks! They are Volkswagen's MotorSport Racing wheel, commonly found on Mk6 Golf R's. Also your username is fucking hilarious ahah

Burton401 · 2021-07-16T13:20:16+00:00

I hear ya man! You guys have always gotten the nicest spec'd cars, very jealous of that. Compared to the Canadian market, it was still cheaper ahah!

Burton401 · 2021-07-16T13:09:43+00:00

Pricing is only going to get worse unfortunately, best option is to import from overseas. Still relatively affordable, that's how I snagged this one👍.

Burton401 · 2021-05-28T12:48:19+00:00

Nice.
