Here's a couple of pics of the 'mog, 110 and Series1 sat at the port awaiting loading.
Barring any problems they should be sailing to Canada on the 14th.
They'll be looking forward to the brighter, sunnier weather in Alberta instead of damp, misty Southampton.......Me too!

Swag,

I think your 'mog is great.. I should have made you an offer for it!

The new ryres certainly fill out the arches.

They certainly fill the front arches. Those aren't quite finished yet. They still need trimming out an inch or two. I hastily made them to replace the rusty originals.
It was easier than trying to get the old ones clean enough to satisfy the cleanliness inspection.

We've still got 4 more 'mogs here though!
And I've got a set of 4 10.50x20's on rims to sell. Ebay probably!

does it actually cost you anything to get your vehicles shipped out?

It does, but it's very cheap! Otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.

Swag,
Cool as F*#$. Can't wait to go out terrorising the locals, very slowly of course. Should be able to help you get the fleet back to the Hat also.

Cheers,
Stu

Mogs are really phenomenal machines - though it's impossible to find parts for back home - my brother and I are toying with the idea of finding one back home to restore. We love shocking our conservative (extended) family members:D

Good luck in Canada, beautiful country & friendly locals:p

Watcha matey,

Drop us a PM regards who you used for shipping etc. I'll be needing to do the same when we move. Either that or I'll stick it all in a 40' container with the rest of the house stuff... costs allowing...

BTW, we'll be back over in early June for 2/3 wks, might be able to link up if your around then.

Laters,

Well,
They're here at last.
The shipping people put that many miles on them "playing" that the Series1 and the 110 had both run out of petrol, and the Unimog doesn't like the cold weather and refuses to start.
Now I'm flying back to UK tomorrow and will be "toy-less" for a few months 'til I fly back to Canada for good.
No pics I'm afraid as I forgot my camera!

Congrats swag on your "babies" being shipped. You must be happy to have them here.

On a different note, I heard someone make a reference to a "pug". Do you have one? I've got two. :D

Wrong Pug!
In the UK Pug is slang for Peugot.
I bought a little Peugot 106 XT to run around in 'til my immigrtion comes through.

LOL, oops, sorry. :D

Yea we don't have Peugot's here so never heard of that term used that way before. Hehe.

Well enjoy your pug!
