I have brought plenty of vehicles up from the U.S. over the years and would rather have them inspected than have the brakes fail on some old piece of crap bought locally and just stupidly buy insurance and attempt to drive it. ff71 you must be referring to that gorgeous firetruck at the 227th street firehall. I'm at the end of Fletcher and 123rd. no to aircare in the 1st year after being brought up from the states as it hasn't been registered yet and by year two there shouldn't be any more aircare as they keep threatening.
call me if you need a hand or parts as i have a 53 p/u and the odd spare part. i used sapperton motors beside the Maple RIdge claim centre for the inspection on my 55 last year and had no problems
