You should really watch this to the end. Maybe we need a tour across Canada in January-February.

You can go, Dave. I'll sit here in my heated office and watch the video.

Looks like a good place to drive a T with separating fins from tubes on an original radiator. Not me tho’. I’m a fair weather T driver...

What a fantastic video and trip. I would do that in a second if ever given the opportunity.

Interesting video, some comments;
The majority of the trip is in southern climates
Driving across Canada in January February it will ALL be in winter and a significant amounts of it will be on busy highways with lots of semis passing you.
On a typical year you will need to be ready for -40 (or close to this) for a week or more. Starting the car can be done with a block heater.
Probably carry tire chains with you.
Certainly sounds like a interesting trip!!

A t will start and run at 30 below.
I do not.
I will have an exhaust heater in the coupe when I get a top on it.
Sounds like fun for about a day.
