Mission Acomplished (Halifax - Toronto transfer)

Beitrag von pjstock » 15.12.2024 03:04

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.

Hallo,
herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem ganzen Projekt und immer gute Fahrt mit dem James Cook in seinem neuen Heimatland.
Und immer schön auf die Höhe von 3,20 m achten.
Alles Gute Wilfried
