After long separation the 1985 Euro with 3B is returning under my wing next weekend. So happy to have her back!!
When we bought our first house back in 2006 the Ur-q had to go (needed $$ for downpayment).. always missed her all this time.. great trips, even brought my first born from the hospital in that car. Now she's back!!
Welcome home Sheila!
in 2000 I bought her from a friend of mine Ralf Wiesner in Germany.. here is his site:

The only trick was she needed a new head gasket before being driven across Germany to the shipyard in Poland.
Here is a picture of me doing the work at Ralf's shop, Jan 2001
Just before setting off on a 1200km trip
Driving across Germany
At the Gdynia shipyard ready to go into the container
Then couple of months later arriving in Canada
First a mandatory wash (Ministry of Agriculture)
It was February so she did have to see some snow.
Meeting with Mr Cook's Project... it was that long ago!!
Swap to Ronals:
I still had my first Ur-q at that point.
Spruced up before the first UPG meeting in CT
The drive down was great, thanks to Lino V for this shot.
Then another CT gathering
Then a 3B swap
Some Sport brakes...
And then we bought our house and she had to go.. few months before the sale:
2014 pickup day, shaking hands with her last castodian:
Ready to go home
Drive home
My son who was driven home in the car after he was born... excited to go for another drive
Hopefully many more nice drives to come
