Hey!
It's a 5.5 hr drive from your town to mine. Sounds like a good roadtrip! I've driven from Toronto to Boston a couple times to pick up parts. Lotsa fun!
You could spend the night on this side of the boarder, maybe in toronto or niagara falls, if you want to split the drive up. Bring your woman and make a weekend of it. Maybe we could fashion some sort of diesel meet here at my place while we're at it.

My VW diesel isn't done yet, but that does sound tempting. CRAP, don't you have to have a visa now. I haven't been to Cananda in 10 years.
I would probably drive to the border on this side for it if you won't ship. It wouldn't be right away though.

You need a passport, no visa needed.  The Canadians aren't that pissed with us yet. ::)

The difference a day can make !
I'd have taken that when we met at Giles shop Wednesday !

But the Truck was getting kinda packed up a lil heavy anyway ...

ah well, just glad to be home again and 800 miles away from that Ontario traffic jam.  ::)

Was good to meet you and see that rabbit race car.

Only a frog hair away from it though.
Spent almost 2 hours with Canadian Patrollers at border because i attempted to go to a currency exchange located before the crossing.

But it was 3am and dead as a doornail, i'm sure they were bored.
Glad the battery in my laptop wasn't one of those with longlife/extended use. It would have taken even longer.

All you need is a degree in anything. Then you can "Teach English", which of course, is the ultimate in Gigolation. An old pal of mine from highschool left lawschool to go to taiwan to "teach english". After an initial spike, things settled down to about 3 extra-curricular "tutorings" a day. Good lord!

Dr. Diesel, I heard a rumor that Giles has taken over your cam grinding service.  Is this true?  I need a 5-cyl. cam done.
