Glad you made it. Its always nice to get back home. I hated not going but I had eye operation and I wasn't able to drive for two weeks. I am getting ready to go to N.C to where my son lives. He was in a auto wreck a head on. He died yesterday. I half to go down and take care of matters. He a organ donor and they have him now. Never know what down the road. Glad you made it home safe.

Cecil, I'm curious to know what is your rear end ratio.
I have a friend with a 52 overdrive with 4:11 and beats me every tour with my 53 overdrive with 3:90. He gets over 20 MPG and I get a little over 16. Charles

Ken: You can rent a 4 wheeled scooter to place your operated leg on and push with your good leg - crutches are terrible. Best wishes for a good recovery. Bill OH

Ken, I'm sorry for your loss of your son. Is he the one that was so ill a few months (or years) back? Your family is in my prayers.

I made it back home also but lost track of the gas I bought. About 7100 miles on the odometer but I think it is a little slow.

Ken, So sorry for your loss.

That amount of gas here in NZ would have cost $3262.00.

Just remembered your gallons a bit smaller than ours so would be a bit less.
