studbuckle Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Nice to see we're all ready then! I spanner checked mine and prevented one possible failure on tour so i'm pleased about that. I still leaks oil like a seive. The diff is leaking worse but i've put in a cunning top up pipe so at least I don't need it up in the air to top the diff up while we're there. Got my final tidy up tonight as we're away for the weekend and then load it up Sunday night for the drive down to London on Monday night. Quite scared now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studbuckle Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Well Maverick has started its journey to America. After months of preperation, getting the car ready for the intense heat in Texas and Nevada, hours of polishing to look good for the photos. I loaded up this morning and drove it to work in the typical English summer pi55ing rain Later this evening i'll be driving it down to London, probably in the pi55ing rain again. Roll on Texas and some sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
