Shipping TOO to Canada (off topic from Workshop manual Thread)

[FRANKIE]

I was intrigued as a kid with the innovations I found in the old mags by the racers of the twenties onward and it set me off on the journey that brought me to the Z3 and here. It's been quite a trip with a few hiccups but I find I'm still learning at least one thing new everyday off the forum and today one thing I learned was about your aircraft experience. Small bit of info but a door that has been opened. JIM

What about the lesson about not buying Zeds from overseas?........................Uh ..oh.........here we go again..................

Sorry must have skipped class that day. The problems I had were caused by an American co running a business in Canada and not firming up contractors they hired. Other than that everything went smoothly and I expect that TOO will be even better!! JIM

Will it come into Halifax again? Frankie

 

[oldcarman]

Yes! Same as last time where my friend will clear customs for me and store it in his garage until I'm fit enough to fly out, visit friends for a few weeks at least and make a leisurely drive 1/2 way Across Canada to home. Unless I can't do it then it will be transported by any co other than the one that lost it TRINITY for two weeks last summer!! Jerks!! JIM

Need a hand driving it? Frankie

Thanks @FRANKIE that's an offer that sounds too good to be true! Will depend on whether or not my health has improved by the time it lands and whether or not Joan wants to tag along and drive. Certainly wouldn't be as exciting as Route 66 with Hugh but I'm sure we could find a bit of trouble to get into. Will certainly give this my serious consideration, JIM
