I have seen it from a distance, so it's off the boat now, I just have to get it between the longshoremans breaks which is about a 30 min window in the morning and a 30 min window in the afternoon!!!

These two pictures were taken at the most easterly point in North America - Cape Spear - you can't get much closer to the cars home than that!!!

These two pictures pictures were taken at Quidi Vidi which is a small town right on the edge of St.John's.

Affectionately called "The Gut" as it has a narrow opening to the Atlantic Ocean for small fishing boats!

I still think you should have had that car shipped through Vancouver so I could give it
a test buy...er, test drive.

ENVY!

That almost happened!!!! If you want you can test drive a 1997 LR Discovery 300tdi Diesel that the ship agent put on the wrong ship taking it to Vancouver instead of Halifax!! You can go down to Searail and ask to take it for a spin!!!

Simon, have you ever driven a diesel Landrover? I have a 300tdi that I brought over last year, it gets 700 km to a tank, not bad considering all the hills in NL. It's RHD so it surprises a lot of people!

The one in Vancouver just cleared customs so hopefully will be on the train this week!

How come no one has postd any ABFM pictures yet!! Bunch of slackers!! spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

No hands-on experience, John. If you pass along the keys, I can put some hours in. winking smiley

Rich was at the ABFM and posted a few pics. I was busy elsewhere. See thread "Gary's Run Photo Thread" on the MGB forum.

The V8 got a good run. The RV8 stayed home this time. She'll be going to Tacoma in June for a show at the Lemay Auto Museum.

I did a search for the Volcano paint code today, and apparently Land Rover Canada did use it, which is a good thing as
North American paint manufacturers will have the mix for it. It is shown as EAC,"Volcano Pearl". smileys with beer

Have I missed something here, Rich, do you now had a Volcano coming to your driveway?
