NZ,

You must be one proud poppa !  Kowalski would be proud too ! Congrats on getting Lucy on the road ( even if you don't know which side to drive on )  Can't believe you took it out in the middle of winter.  J/K as always.

Thrash her once for me,

P.G.

Thanks Mat and everyone else!  :bananasmi They found a couple of hitches so I've been here for a little longer than expected.
I'd say in another hour I should have it for good in my hands.

The fuel float had a tiny tiny hole in it and after 3-4 weeks it gradually sank.
So the fuel gauge wasn't reading correct, they filled it up and it was showing empty. That is all fixed now.....

They were still cleaning it and vacuuming it last time I checked.


Not long now though, if I can wait 2-1/2+ years what's another hour!!!!!!!  :lol2:
