Christmas Vacation
SQUIRREL! Its December the first and Christmas is starting in NYC. The residents in the apartment we are camping outside have been very interested in the car. Theres been speculation to what we are doing and why we are here.…
Supersize Me
We are in NY and camping on Manhattan Island…I bet its the cheapest accommodation in NY. We found the queue to get in a bit much even on Thanksgiving at 2pm. The queue for the tunnel was mammoth. We couldn’t…
American Hustle
some times you just want to scream and I know some of you know what I mean….This morning the diff lock lamp was on ( don’t know if its in lock or not = bad ). The switch they broke…
Southern Hospitality
Not that they are in the South but he’s a Southerner….Ohio is Northern but Sean comes from about a far south as you can get in the UK.Thanks Sean and Debb(s) ((LOL)) for allowing us to stay and keeping me…

So the garage did a efficient job getting us on our way. We left there about lunchtime Tuesday. A few problems with the diff-lock lever which I knew we would. Last time it took me ages to get it working…
Transporter
After a under-informed weekend we were told early morning that our worse fear was realised, the box was still in Chicago….well…I need not tell you I was upset and possibly nearly in tears. The money that this would have cost…
The Newsroom
Car rented and good news that the box should be in Indianapolis DHL Warehouse for Monday morning. We will go to pick it up in the Ford Focus we’ve just rented ($150 one week) The DHL fee is now $70…

Gears Of War

Failure To Launch
We’ve been let down a bit by the gearbox people and even though they got me a box though the repair bench early they failed to get the delivery arranged so its being collected today (Tuesday). It seems though it might…
Deliverance
Gearbox is built and its in the UK. We are waiting for a shipping quote and to find out when it gets here. Fingers crossed but they are not confident they can get it here by ...
Grindhouse 2
It looks as though its the gearbox. New one on order from the UK. EXPENSIVE when you include shipping and fitting. Our budget is knackered for sure. This is a $3000usd problem.We think the box should be here next Friday.…
Grindhouse
Problems in Walmart….grinding sound on idle and when moving coming from the rear of the bell housing. My thoughts are input bearing on gearbox. A big job to take it out involving stripping the entire box. So its either Gearbox or Clutch…
Meet Me In St Louis
