Yeah, Vince is my nephew, so I can vouch for him.
He's also an ace mechanic and could keep the piles limpin along if'n anything harpooned on the road, he's got a special inborn talent for *** er um Jury rigging yeah that's the phrase Jury riggin shit so it keeps on keepin on.

My sweet wife and 2 babies are heading down to Communist China on 15 May so if you'se want to takle the scenic route via Sleezattle you all can crash here.
I'm head down to China 12 June so that's the window.

I aint all that, I'm just a tech who's dad was a truck driver. I'd definitely be willing to help as I'm self employed.

Man I wish I could go to china!!!

Come on cuz, I've talked to a million "techs".

I know a good mechanic when I talk to one.
I say you're a good mechanic, so STFU and don't talk about "Techs".

Thanks anyways for the help but I'm not buying the 245, my friend is not ready yet to ship his S40 and my 242 GT is supposed to be picked up between 3 and 5 pm today to be in Champlain on Thuesday!

I'm so anxious to see it! There must not be any rust anywhere on that car or I think I'm gonna cry!

It is costing a lot more on the shipping (1800$ ouch) but it seems like it's the price to pay to have a rust free car up north! At the actual gaz price, I think it is not that bad actually since I have a friend who paid around 2000$ last year.

Oh and btw Tim, I found my transporter on UShip! that website is really cool! Thanks a lot for the hint!

the only thing is that I feel a but stupid to pay that much to have a car worth a grand shipped to me! But I see it as buying the peace of mind when I'm gonna wrench on it! I hate rust and if it is really 100% rust free in my mind it will be worth every penny it took to get it here!
