Looks nice Alf, not sure if the wait would be easier with or without pics.

Hey Alf, no aluminum rims? Or do they change out the wheels at the end?

Given the paint overspray on a tire in one photo, I suspect that your theory that these are wheels used only during construction is correct.
Alf can now calm down again, having thought that his alloys were missing... if he ordered them.

Hi: gbaglo... I was somewhat concerned about that too!!! I think they're just a set of roll around rims because of the buffing compound and general factory dust. Can't wait to see her all gussied up and ready to tow!!!
Now all I have to do is get "Our Escape Hatch" cleaned up, delivered to Manitoba, and get to Chilliwack, then on to the rally in Osoyoos. Alf

The Last 5.0 is home!
We picked up the "Last 5.0" on Thursday. Donna and I barely slept Wednesday night so we were in great shape for the orientation.
It flew by so fast and we comprehended less than we had hoped. Luckily we had booked a trailer pulling lesson from the Euro Driving School. A patient instructor name Attila, who runs the driving school methodically ran us through a second orientation and told us many things left out at ETI. It was five hours later when he left us but he left us with confidence in our abilities. It was 5 o'clock and raining when he left us so rather than go home we stayed the night at the nearby Best Western Hotel where we spent the night before picking the trailer up.

You were concerned about threading the eye of the needle. But no dings, I presume. Congrats.

Thanks for sharing! It is always fun seeing what we have done to 'customize' our Escapes.
