Well, already 2 weeks! And 6000km later (3700miles)
Been to eastern Quebec (Gaspe), PEI, NB and NS

Only 3 days of sunshine on 16 (If I can call that sunshine!) and many days
of cloudy sky, cold temperature, foggy days, high wind and a lot of rain...
Not nice, I was hopping for more than that:( (Those were my worse summer
vacation in 10 years)

Check the weather if you are going to those provinces.

No problem with the westy, like always.

If you need any advice on those places, please feel free to ask.

Average fuel consumption: 440/500km per tank (279/310 miles)
Oil consumption: 1 quart for the whole trip.
Problem: One small, one of the 2 new front heather hose slowly made its way
to the drive axle and melted, luckily I was in a town-driving situation.
Half a quart lost, no need for bleeding, I just clamp the hose each side
and added a metal joiner. (my mistake!!!)

I met a lot of nice westy owner, especially a nice couple from Vermont in
an 85 Westy.

Regards, Ben
