Apologies in advance as this is a bit off-list-topic - thought someone might
be interested, though...

I've rented a 14' U-Haul truck and car trailer for the weekend of 9/18
one-way from Ottawa, ON to Portland, ME in order to transport a
non-driveable '68 Land Rover I've purchased. I really didn't need to rent
such a big truck, but it was the only thing available that could tow a
trailer one-way from Canada. (I truthfully don't think my Vanagon would make
it across NH towing 2500 extra pounds!)

Anyway, the rental truck will be mostly empty, so I was wondering if anyone
on the list had any large objects (transmissions, engines, etc. - stuff
that'd be really expensive to ship via freight) they might need moved
somewhere along the route (Ottawa - Montreal - NH - ME) in exchange for
contributing to the cost of the truck. Note that any customs paperwork or
duty would have to be taken care of by you, as I am no expert in those
matters. I could stuff at my place in Yarmouth for a short time until you
could pick it up.

Or if anyone has a more creative idea for transporting the vehicle - it's
not too late to cancel my reservations and I'm open to suggestions! Thanks!
