    As best as I can translate, he has a 77 Mav with craggars on it but his butt is so large when someone tells him to "haul ass" he has to make 2 trips.:D

    I'm sure there are others more knowledgeable in this case (Stefan?) but I'll take a stab at it. Seems to me he's looking for 2 inexpensive tires to fit the Cragar mags on his '77 Mav. Anyone else?

    I know when I am looking for an inexpensive tire...I always start out by looking in a foreign country.

    That is what I would call Quebecois (someone who live in the province of Quebec) slang and there is nothing to be worried about!

    The direct translation is:

    "cherche 2 pneus pas trop cher pour..." =
    "Looking for 2 tires, not to expensive for a"


    "..mag cragarre 2 pneus assez large" =

    "Cragar mags, 2 tires (that are) wide enough"

    Pneus = tire
    assez = enough

    Dennis, can you forward me the email?
