Just a quick update The Unicorn will be going up for sale shortly. She is going for a photoshoot on fri for Camper and Bus magazine and then will be on the market the week or too after that if she's not sold by the end of June she will be going to Syncropendence. Heres a link to some more pics http://m1268.photobucket.com/albums/Unicornsyncro16" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just to update/finish this post The Unicicorn has arrived at its destination and is now in Canada :ok
To quote from its new owners "Hi Paul,
Well, the Joker has landed! We just got back to the hotel after picking up the Van from the Port of Tacoma.
Everything looks good so far. Drove really good on the freeway. All the workers at the Port were asking about it and lots of looks."

Isn't that more like Seattle Jake... does look a really beautiful region, just from the Google maps. As is that whole area, Vancouver particularly :ok
Must get there one day, everyone says it's a fabulous place.

Anyway, I think that is definitely where it has gone...

Chiming in as one of the proud new owners of this superb machine...it's now safely sitting in our driveway in the Kootenay region of eastern British Columbia. Some photos from the final leg of the trip home today...

Thanks for everything, Paul.
