Finally at the destination


Yesterday was the day that my El Camino finally arrived at the garage. The container arrived a month ago to the Finland and it took a few days to reach to a shipping company lot in the Hämeenlinna. After that it took about 3-4 days to be customs clearance and after I had paid the customs fee and taxes, it was ready to pick up. Now, then it became a quite long wait to find one that could deliver my El Camino from Hämeenlinna to my home. 

When I found on trucking company that would do it, then it became trivial for trucking company to find the right date for pick-up and deliver it. Finally, we had a date, and yesterday I got the call from the trucking company that he has left my El Camino a nearby earth moving company lot, since he had used a trailer rig with a several other cars, he couldn't drive into my small yard. 

I was so excited that I had to take a video when I was coming home from work that I have my impression recorded at the first sighting..


Then I had to take my dog for a walk and of course we went straight back to the El Camino.


First things first. My inspector checking the undercarriage. 


The bed comes with some stuff. 


I guess that is one way to make sure the car goes straight, ish.


Oh, that's what my inspector was checking under the car.

After this I went to sauna and thought about how I get the El Camino that last quarter mile to home.

That would be slowest quarter mile time for this El Camino, ever.
