Well I’m now a proud owner of a 1979 VW T3 air cooled Transporter. It’s in Poland currently so now the journey begins for it to get to me in Canada. I’m pretty excited. These things really don’t exist here, especially in this good of shape. I had someone go inspect it and so far everything checks out. Hopefully I get it in a month or so.
Here i am with Phil Lynott in mine with some IH jeans. Love this shirt !
I am pretty pumped about this Canadian flag I received so I thought I would share here. I signed up to receive a flag that flew over our parliament buildings in Ottawa, Canada. This one flew on the Peace Tower. They change the flag every day and give the flag to someone in the country. I signed up about 20 years ago and got the flag this past week. The wait is now over 100 years if you sign up today. It’s giant and I have no idea what I’ll do with it, but it’s a pretty cool story.
Man, every time I see an update on this topic I’m thinking/hoping it will be an update on delivery. Instead, it’s just photos of how great everyone looks in these shirts and I’m not one of them!
I am loving the Dukes. Here’s a photo of them in my locker at the pool.
Got my new 292 back from snap upgrade. Can’t wait to put some miles on this thing!
I got my Chronosport UDT Sea Quartz back from repair today. I couldn’t be happier. It’s working perfectly. After buying it broken, sending it to Australia, paying for repair and service, and then return shipping to me in Canada it became an expensive project. But I really don’t know any watch that isn’t!
Can’t thank you enough @Graham and the IH team for making this happen for me. I love it. Replaces my IHJ-17 nicely. IH collection complete!…for now.
I got nothing to say of note here. I basically just checked the discussion to make sure my notifications didn’t miss anything 
Oof. I made a mistake. I was looking at the CAD prices in the website when I was checking how much these cost. I was asking way too much. Price now $325 USD shipped
@tody thanks for that. You can never have too many resources when it comes to these things! And I will always need parts.
Yes I’ve seen a couple as well. I thought they looked horrible at first but now they are growing on me.
Well the price of the truck itself was very reasonable. There is nothing for sale in this shape in all of Canada from what I could find. I found one that was pretty good and they wanted more than what this cost. I think since they are sort of rare that everyone thinks they have a pot of gold. I think in the end though I will end up paying more. Shipping is a killer, then duty, then I have to pay tax, get a safety, etc. the shipping alone is about $4500 CAD. With all that other stuff on top.
Thanks @endo it looks good and was inspected but it doesn’t make me any less nervous. I’ve always loved these. My wife doesn’t share the same enthusiasm but is happy for me so I guess that’s all that matters.
