Getting a trailer to haul the Red Riv did'nt work out to well lots of friends were willing to loan us one but all we found were to narrow or not capable of the weight. My friend Jim and I pulled a 15 hour straight down to Mass equipped with some tools spare parts and a tow bar just incase to repair the riv's brakes and drive her home. Things went really well thanks to the guys at Fisher Auto parts in Leominster Mass we got done everything to rebuild the brakes and get the riv rolling. Unfortunatley I got caught up in getting her on road I did'nt take any pictures until we were on the road.
Remember the Buick ads "When better cars are built Buick will build them"
Happiness is rolling down the interstate in your dream car - Thanks for building this one Mr Mitchell.

to drive the Riv
Lunch break
The Riv was running perfectly, The Yukon was being fussy
Time for pit stop what a great day
Next day we hit the road early - rain followed by more rain until dark, It did stop long enough to get a picture of the Rivs first stop at a Tims, just around the corner from the St Stephen/Calais border 
the Rivs now officially a Canuck now Eh!. 
next page is the riv all washed after her ride in the rain and a bunch detail shots.
