Have a good trip, and please avoid as much road kill as possible. I won't see you cause I'm in Ottawa. Have fun in TO!

Have a safe and enjoyable trip. Try not to get too many speeding tickets. I may see you around Toronto, as I work in Toronto, or if you go travelling out a little further east of Toronto. Good Luck on your career.

carry couple of bottles of coke, it comes handy for cleaning the blood out. you know for road kill :)
Its a nice drive. I drove to BC and back couple of years ago and it was great. Make sure you fill the gas (specially at nights) at every oppertunity you get. i ran out of gas bc most gas stations in Northern ontario close around 7pm :)

Have a great trip and be safe! Some beautiful (and some pretty boring prairies) out there!
And definately fill up that tank every chance you get. When I was driving cross country years ago, I'd fill up at 1/2 tank, because I'm paranoid like that.
Where abouts in Toronto will you be living?

what way are you coming? cutting thru the states or sticking to canada! good luck with your trip, and bad-ass car man!

From Vancouver..very nice!!
I moved here 9 years ago, I love the fact that you can go over the speed limit and get no tickets. Best of luck.

Word of Warning, Drive durring the Daylight hours Only, if your going thru Northern Ontario, as Moose are on the loose up there at night, and even transport trucks don't survive after hitting one on the highway.

I hope you have a safe trip and that your car a more comfortable ride than it looks like it has. :rolleyes:

If you decide to detour through North Bay on your last leg (and don't take Hwy 69 south from Sudbury to the 400), let me know. I'll hook you up with some BBQ.
Spot Me, I M Driving My Car From Vancouver To.. - konafocuswrc - 06-18-2007

there are just small mom & pop shops, and the few native rezs, trust me a focus can make it from Thundar Bay to Wawa on a tank, as long as you have the criuse contorls on. just keep in mind to get across all of Northern Ontario it will take one day.

Nice to hear you made it in one piece? Any roadkill ??
Spot Me, I M Driving My Car From Vancouver To.. - konafocuswrc - 06-26-2007
no roadkill but bugs.
lots damaged paintwork.. :(
Spot Me, I M Driving My Car From Vancouver To.. - torradan - 06-27-2007
Glad you made it in one piece!
I'm sure someone can recommend a good painter in the area once you're ready to paint things up.
Bugs.. no problem.. wet dryer sheets work great!
