Picked up the Series 1 today
« on: April 21, 2016, 10:51:44 am »
My Series 1 had been taken to Dungog New South Wales about 6 weeks back for a tune up, it went to the 'Spiritual' home of Land Rovers in the Hunter Valley region where I live

, the owner Murray liked it that much he put it in the small showroom and that's where it stayed until yesterday, I did tell Murray that I was in no great rush for the job to be done, anyway a phone call yesterday to say the job was complete, so we headed off this afternoon.
I found it sitting in the workshop just waiting for me

I had taken 20 lt's of fuel with my special mix, started it up and away we went.

that's a 55mph shadow LOL

I had promised my mate Gordon (who I purchased the vehicle from back in 2013 the first drive so here he is

we changed drivers at East Maitland as I wanted to drive it in the heavier traffic

the traffic on Flat road was non existent but a mile further on the New England hwy it was a different matter especially on a Thursday night and the time being 1750hrs, anyway we arrived home safely, and it's now tucked under the carport so the Flying Fox's cant s**t on it, cheers Dennis  dgs

I do hope it's going to carry on getting used, it looks lovely.

All the right bits, but not necessarily in the right order.
