Default Now thats a tracking system

Hi All

I really get a kick out of MLU, how many members do we have? With just a few well trained spotters they spot a vehicle on the move across the many miles of road in Canada. Then in under 18 hours they identify the owner and destination of the vehicles.

Cheers Phil

We would all make really good spies wouldn't we!

I guess really what is so much a part of this is that there are so few routes to travel on long distance on that the chances of being spotted are high.

Dragging a carrier around the country is also known as "trolling":

You stop at every gas station and coffee shop that old-timers frequent, and make sure you are parked right out front. They come like flies to honey, and you can develop a couple of leads at every stop.

Hans,

You do bring up a very good point about trolling.

Every time I have something green loaded on the trailer everyone comes up to me to tell me about a jeep (like I care ) or a something or a deuce or a carrier that is around locally.

I really should do that more often, maybe I should go down near Maryhill Ont and see what people will tell me is in barns around the area.

Maybe there are some Land Roves down that way . . .
