Sask Minor Hockey Rocks!
March 24th, 2011I was fortunate to attend the Regina Pat Canadians year end wind up banquet this year representing Capital Ford and the Capital Auto Mall. The Pat Canadians had a successful year and there was tons to celebrate. Even though the year didn’t wind up with a championship, or a trip to the playoffs, the Pat Canadians landed 5th in the standings and narrowly missed out on the playoffs after a tie breaker with Notre Dame to end the season.
Graham Black - Regina Pat Canadians
Graham Black in particular cleaned up the league awards with 3 league awards including MVP! He’s hoping to join the Swift Current Broncos after playing a few games up at the major junior league with them already this year. Selfishly I’m a huge Broncos fan so I hope he kills it!
The program was fun. It started out with an inspirational address from the WHL Regina Pats head coach Curtis Hunt who spoke about attitude and hard work being the cornerstone for all success in life, not just in hockey. As it was winding down the teams trainer, Doug McKell went through the classic gag gifts. Handing out an alarm clock for those who can’t keep time, dog treats for those in always in the coaches dog house, crazy glue for a player who leaks the most blood and a bunch of well intended, funny but heart felt gifts. You could really tell the connection between the players and their trainer was tight and had everyone in stitches.
You can really tell that this team, from the players, coaches and parents, are all in it for the right reasons. it was easy to feel the passion for the game and for the young men to be the best, not only in hockey but in everything they do. As a Regina Ford dealership it’s easy to be a proud sponsor of such a great organization and I’m sincerely looking forward to being at next years banquet as well!
Happy New Years – 10 Resolutions To Being a Better Motorist
December 31st, 2010Looks like it’s another year in the books! Our team here at Capital Ford wanted to send a warm Happy New Years to you and your family. With another year gone comes a new lineup of vehicles and new features for us to learn. It also means more training for our outstanding service staff to keep up with the latest technologies and to unofficially get their MD for 2011 vehicles. (stethoscope and all!)
Today’s vehicles are filled with features and technologies to help keep you safer – knowing how to use them properly can make you a better driver. Some features can help minimize injuries in crashes while others can help you avoid dangerous situations all together. MIT researchers say reducing stress can help us all be better drivers, go figure.. especially at this time of the year, which if you’re like me is the most stressful time of them all.
For new years we leaned on Ford Motor Company to give us a list of 10 New Years Resolutions to becoming a better driver, and while reducing stress isn’t on the top 10, i think it is for me.

Winter Safety Clinic
October 18th, 2010It’s that almost time of year again – when the snow starts to fall, many drivers and their vehicles may not be prepared to drive on wet or icy winter roads. To stay safe, there are several things to remember. Bringing awareness early to prevent the consequences of poor winter driving is important.
On Thursday, October 14th, Capital Ford teamed up with the Sask Safety Council for a winter driving clinic to do just that. The media conference and free inspections that followed we’re well received and attendance was impressive. For a quick peek at the day check out this video!

Mad Money’s, Jim Kramer + CEO Of Ford, Alan Mulally
September 27th, 2010I don’t know about you but I like the over the top, outrageously energetic and sometimes obnoxious Jim Cramer. He’s the man who’s always very demonstrative and creative in his delivery of financial recommendations. There’s no doubting why his program is called “Mad Money.” Jim has a great feel for Ford and has been an advocate of FoMoCo. When CEO Alan Mulally introduced Jim to the new Ford Explorer it was madness!
With the recent good fortune at Ford, it was a treat to see Mulally, the impressive leader of Ford, interviewed by Kramer, the crazy economist. At the heart of the new upturn at Ford is the production of outstanding vehicles. We’re awfully proud to offer one of the best lineups Canada has ever laid eyes at our Regina Ford dealership. It’s been a big turn around since 06′ when Mulally took over, and personally I think Mulally has brought a tenacity and greatness that all other car manufacturers lack. I hope this post is more then just my own personal interest coming across but I thought this video was a fun and insightful. It’s a great look at how bright the future is, and how great it is right now. Above all else, if you haven’t seen Alan Mulally before, this is a great look at the man who’s steering the ship, and how down to earth and fun he is. He seems like he’d be a helluva Riders fan!
At Capital Ford, like I mentioned, we’re awfully proud to offer the Ford and Lincoln lineup and it’s been roses lately, so it was fun to see some recognition on Mad Money. We’d love to hear what you think in the comments. If you’d like to see some more info on our best selling products just click the links below:
How well will the New V6 Ecoboost hold up?
September 24th, 2010As I wrote about the new ecoboost V6 for the 2011 Ford F-150 I couldn’t help but be blown away as I dug into some Ford resources. The power and torque numbers out of a V6 (at least I thought) are almost unbelievable. It’s that impressive. The more I thought about it, the same questions begged to be asked. How is a V6 supposed to produce this much power and torque without blowing itself up. So I dug in a little deeper to answer, is this new engine going to be reliable? Want to know what I found? Keep on reading baby! Read the rest of this entry “
The New V6 Ecoboost For the F-150
September 23rd, 2010I don’t know about you but when I heard of a V6 in the F-150 and how many they wanted to get into our Regina Ford dealership I was, well pretty much a Debby Downer. That is, UNTIL, I did a little research in the new engine and what it has to offer. My ignorance took a hay-maker to the chops. Keep on reading to learn all about it. Read the rest of this entry “
Capital Ford – Summer Video
September 9th, 2010This was shot a few months back, and is so impressive it had to be posted!
When I first watched it I was in awe. I’d have cracked my skull and busted at least a dozen bones if I attempted to get my fat body to do anything resembling this incredible feat of physics defying stunting!
We had a blast at Summer Invasion this year and this commecial was really one of the highlights for us. It had SOOOO many people asking questions, commenting and giving props to a great video. Props go out to the great folks at Living Sky Media for putting it together for us!
We’re also please to announce, and exciting about a partnership with Grassroots Wakeboard School. They offer camps all summer and this isn’t exactly the best time to be promoting them but it ties in well with the video and it’s a something we’re really excited about pushing forward with. If this peaks your interest right off the hop let us know in the comments, otherwise watch our blog over the next few months for our master plan.
In the mean time, if you’re looking for a truck to pull your boat, you need something as tough as the F-150. We’ve recently put together a stand along website for the new F-150 in Regina for our shoppers. There are so many trucks to choose from, but I strongly recommend you at least have some fun and take a drive in an F-150 in Regina. I’m confident it will be on top of your list when all is said and done!

The Fiesta Workout!
June 8th, 2010Been told you need to hit the gym? Me too… but the normal excuses prevail. I don’t have the time – I don’t fit into that crowd – I’ll go next week. Here’s an enginous way to have a little more fun then the conventional squats and bench press exercises and will erase those BS excuses.
Rockin a 40″ TV isn’t easy in any car let alone a sub compact…. impressive!
