As I'm now in early retirement, we did another trip to Canada and the US from August 20 to September 17.
At August 20 we took the Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt/Germany nonstop to Seattle. I had prebooked a small SUV by Budget from the Seattle Airport. As I went to the Budget counter at the airport, no small SUV was available, no medium SUV either. So they gave me a monster Ford Expedition for the rate of a small SUV. So far, so good, but the advantage of a large car to a small rate was taken by the gas, that this monster consumed.
The first 3 nights we had in Vancouver/BC, where we did some sightseeing. With the great help of Terry Yip I was able to go out for buffing at one afternoon. Here are the results (specs in US-gallons):
Engine 18 in Vancouver is this 2007 Spartan Gladiator (Smeal Sirius) with Smeal bodywork. It has a 2000 gpm-pump and carries 500 gallons of water, 50 gallons A foam, and a CAFS system.
