My Jiger 152

Getting the Jiger Home

September 13th 2004 I received an email from Yves Ouimet and he informed me he had a Jiger 152 that he began restoring, but he would be interested to sell. He sent me some pictures and it seemed this Jiger was in really good shape. We agreed on a price, but he lived in northern Quebec. This is a long way from Winnipeg. I later secured transport from Toronto to Winnipeg thanks to Bison Transport. I had to travel to Iroquois Ontario on business which is halfway between Toronto and Montreal. Yves agreed to meet me half way and my route home was complete. Thanks so much Yves and Sylvie for all your help, thanks to the folks at the Macintosh Inn for storing my Jiger, thanks Dodge for making a Caravan that fits a Jiger within millimeters, and thanks Don Streuber at Bison for the safe and timely transport to Winnipeg. I unpacked most of the parts and this thing is in good shape. I am very excited to get this unit cleaned up and assembled. I will be suspending my work on the 197's. This will be way more fun.
