I have had a couple of interesting encounters at the border crossing with Al and on my own, they are not the friendliest of folk sometimes.

make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

Let us not forget that he also stepped into the breach at the 11th hour and saved MME 2011 - without Hugh there wouldn't have been a show that year.
Chuck him a few extra Dr Peppers and I'm sure he'd drag bits across the Atlantic too.

Hugh Cannon or Dr Mini on the forum, running out of Knoxville TN picking up minis &/or mini parts and delivering them all over the USA-
As we all know, classic mini owners are cheap, always looking for a bargain and Hugh fills this void as no one else does
If you hire Hugh don't look for some guy pulling into your place driving a $200k unit with a 53 foot trailer, hydraulic lifts and shiny paint, what you see is what you get, a beater of a tow vehicle and a single used trailer that has seen better days- But he delivers, has a great track record, deals in cash only and never gives you a contract to sign-
Hughs' delivery time varies as does his route, taking him of the beaten trial as he crashes at AFBases all over the country-this helps keep his costs down below what we would consider rock bottom
I never ask or have asked Hugh for a quote, just pay him what he wants and off he goes, I just had him deliver a UK Moke for me from Niagara Falls NY to San Antonio TX, reasonable quote and delivered on time- Where he excells is on his runs to California and the PNW where it is tough to find shippers to go there-
An added bonus is that Hugh knows minis and is always a great help to a newbie buyer when he drops off a delivery- If you see him on the road, offer him 2-3 Dr Peppers and wish him well
Go Hugh Go

PS- In saying all of the above, l speak with authority as l used to haul anything mini wise that wasn't tied down but old age and tougher and tougher cross border regulations have now forced me to sit on the sidelines and watch??
