I made it.
I got the Release confirmation from my customs broker on Wednesday at noon and so I booked a flight (2 hours) to Halfax Nova Scotia (where all European imported vehicles offload) for thursday morning
by 12 noon thursday I had my transit permits in hand and headed to the port area.
but 14h00 I was sitting in my James Cook ready to go. 1800kms to go.
I checked the engine oil level (was a bit low I thought so I topped it up) and headed out. (she has apparently a brand new replacement engine and so I would like to keep it healthy)
that afternoon and evening I managed 700kms. til 23h00 at Edmundson NB
I grabbed 3 hours sleep and then, on awaking I took off again until 05h00 when I got drowsy and pulled over for another nap.
at 08h00 I woke up and started driving again. and completed 1100kms to get home in Toronto by 20h00 the second day.
great vehicle I think.
she drives well. I just set the cruise control at 110kph and relaxed.
fortunately (once I figured out the red Master ON/OFF key )I put on the the cabin heater (as it is cold here -10 to -5C) and it worked well.
this JC apparently has a brand new engine (the old one having blown up apparently) so I want to be careful with it.
