Summer 1982. St Johns Newfoundland to Victoria BC - the whole length of the Trans Canada Highway. 5,200 miles in 14 days. Did over 600 miles in a day once. On my own as far as Calgary, picked up a friend who flew into there for the last bit. Using a facility called "Auto Driveaway" (do they still exist?) where they tie up people who want cars moved with drivers.
Extremely envious! During the autumn I did the entire TCH section west of Calgary but I'd love to see the rest of it. Auto Driveaway still exists as DriveAway Canada.

A free road trip?
Canada DriveAway recruits safe drivers to deliver road-ready vehicles. This is your opportunity to drive a car, either A) across Canada, or B) Canada to/from the United States. Sounds too good to be true? Well it happens all the time. Vehicle Delivery is major industry in North America. Canada DriveAway wants to put you in the drivers seat.
Changed cars in Toronto, had a big pickup from St Johns to Toronto, then (of all things) a Ford Capri, built in Britain, onwards.
During my recent roadtrip I was surprised to find an absolutely pristine 1970 Ford Capri on someone's drive in a small town deep in the middle of the Kootenays. First one I'd seen in all my twenty-something years of living or working across north America!
