One more time.

Joffre is south/east of Quebec City in a town called Charny.

If it wasn't dark I'd go take a picture of your cars

Man, this is so much worse than waiting for Christmas as a kid.
At least you knew for sure when Christmas was....

Hopefully only 1 or 2 more sleeps until our "presents" get here

(And yes, for those thinking it, it is possible I got too much sun out golfing this evening....)

Pooch, I have to say, your are probably one of my favourite people in the world at the moment.
You've earned your self a permenant place on my Christmas Card List (If I had one.)

Better yet, if you ever make it to Halifax, let me know. I'm buying.
A summer Patio Party at the Lower Deck is a wonderful thing.

This one's for Jasper_the_2nd

You'll be sleeping better tonight cause your car is about 300 miles from destination. Can you feel it ?

Still no other active VINs.

Look for another update this afternoon.

Damn! There I was, wasting time working, when I could have know about that update much earlier....

Definately forget sleeping tonight; the cars should be in the autoport by then. That update was two hours ago, so it should be to Fredericton by now, which is only what, 5 or 6 hours from Dartmouth, depending on the stops in between?

Yep, Pooch, you come to N.S. and we'll take good care of ya!

Redshift & Jasper thanks for the offer, you never know I might make down your way one day.

If I do I'll give you guys ample warning so you can stock up the bars. I'm of Irish/Scottish/French heritage but the Irish tends to dominate.

Oh and I might wait until I have my Greddy twin turbo kit installed on my Z just to be safe

Well, with the new highway, it's about 4.5 hours by car from Dartmouth to Fredericton...so... the train should be in to the Autoport tonight.
No sleep for me.

My productivity is now officially shot... damn you!

If you've got some Irish in you, then this is the town. We've got the beer, the bars and the music to make you have a good time.

If you get the TT kit on your 350Z, you BETTER come down this way with it. To be honest, the existence of that kit is part of what put the G35 Couple on my shopping list before I settled on the RX.

I'm now surfing while talking on the phone.

Moncton? But, but, but... that's only 2.5 hours away by car!

Yeah, but if you are talking to your Mazda dealer, it doesn't count.

Haha, no I'm talking to customers.
Lucky for me most of my demanding/high maintenance customers are on vacation right now. The majority of the stuff on the go I can leave to my call-center rep who backs me up.

I'm real happy for you guys out east. Looks like you'll be driving your RX-8s well before we even to get to worrying about how many sleeps are left till ours come in the GTA.

I spoke with the sales manager at my dealer. He says my car has been showing on rail for well over a week now, and the latest he received this morning is that it is still on rail. I don't know what gives here.

Anyway, please get your pictures out to us and your first impressions of the car.

Wink JUST KIDDING

Sorry guys I couldn't resist :D

I would have loved to see your faces two minutes ago.

The cars have been sitting in Moncton for a few hours now but I don't know why. I'll update later tonight.

I can see the ATV Latenight News coverage of several flaming rail cars just outside Moncton, the CN logo is just barely visible through the smoke. Just over the hill, where one of the cars has rolled off into a nearby creek, I can make out the unmistakable glint of the fire reflecting off a beautifully sculpted Titanium Grey fender .... Christmas Eve has become hell ...

Pooch - don't think for a second that we don't appreciate all the information updates, but do not toy with us.

That is really weird.
Halifax is only a couple hours down the line from Moncton. I have no idea how they could possibly cause it to take 2 days to move the cars... unless the ETA time includes the time to unload the cars in Halifax?

Just talked to my guy who works for CN.
The rail-car with my car on it (982022) passed through Sackville NB about 30 mins ago... ETA into Halifax is around 2AM.
No explanation for the pushed out ETA at the receiver though.
He's working on it.

I had a thought on the second train car. It has funksoulbrother's car on it. Wasn't he the guy in who'd moved to Ontario but his car was going to PEI? If so they could be sending that train car over to the Island first.
