Well....left friday at 6am to catch the boat and arrived at my buddy Johns in Cranbrook at 6:30 (945 km's total). Just got into Moose jaw a couple hrs ago(another 900km's). Car is purring at 110-120 kmh @ 1900rpm. Should be in MB by mid afternoon. Not much time to stop and take pics...pedal down the whole way.smile Enjoying the cruise and time with James.  Gonna have lunch ready Dan?wink

 Yup....have bottomed out about 10x, caltracts and exhaust. Fixed up exhaust leak at Dan's the first time then tuned it up at Rog's.  Saved the city workers some work on grading....will send them a bill.biggrin Didn't see a trail behind me so just kept going.
