Welcome from NB. Nice ride you got there. Spent 4 years in Goose Bay. Here is my first experience with Newfoundlanders:
Posted to Goose June 89 from Ontario - got to the Ferry (1st crossing of the season) - it was delayed 3 weeks for weather. Myself and family left the vehicle on the rock and flew to Goose. 3 weeks later I was on a plane to get my truck, I was enjoying the flight until I realized that I didnt bring my keys to the truck. I know....dumbass. I called the nearest dealership to see if they could help. He asked where I was, and was on his way. He told me to get my wife to photocopy my key in Goose and fax it to the base in Gander. When he got there it was pouring buckets of rain, and the truck had a flat tire. He took the fax and was muttering some numbers as he used a handheld key cutter. He cut me three keys, then I waited in his truck while he changed my tire. He was in a shirt and tie, and soaked to the skin. He spent about 3 hours on me and my problems. I was expecting a large bill for this service. The man would not take a cent from me. After 4 years living and working in Nfld I found out that he wasnt such an exception, the place is full of the nicest people. The downside to the story is that my wife took the key to my office to fax it, so all my new co-workers got to enjoy my misery, and never let me live it down.

Since you were there in '89 and I got there in '88, I probably ran into you at one time or another! I worked at Labrador Motors my entire time there. I was driving a green '70 Parisienne 4-dr sedan, my '70 Parisienne 2-dr H/T, my Gold and White '67 Grande 4-dr H/T and my ex Forestry Green '71 Chev 3/4 ton 4X4 truck. I always drove something old.

Nice LeMans. I had one just like it - except it was gold outside. And I also had a 75 Parisienne 455 car. Liked them both.
