North and Central America

In December of 2013 we shipped Jim from Southampton in the UK, to Brunswick in Georgia, USA. We drove approximately 17,000 miles through America, Mexico and Canada, and eleven months later, we shipped the truck back to Southampton from Baltimore, Maryland.

Detailed posts about our travels are scattered throughout this blog's history, and the best of the photos from our travels are included in those posts. For a greater number of photos of each of the places that we have visited, please look in the galleries linked below.

  1. I just have to say that I love your blog. I love your truck. Jim is very handsome. I also love other kinds of armored trucks and vans. I'm not familiar with this kind but you make it look good. I had no idea people could buy these and turn it into a RV. Would have loved to see this rolling down the streets when you visited NYC.

  2. Normally they crush them when they're finished with them. The company that sold this one had a few of them listed for export only, but the salesman was easily swayed. I actually got a call from a manager at Brinks a year or so after I bought Jim, who was angry that I'd been able to buy it, and seemed nervous about what my intentions were.
