34 trip

[Lawrie]

The 34 is back in its shed, after 4508 miles,(7326 klm).
It has about 4 drops of oil under it, not too bad.
1064 litre fuel at average 2.14 per litre , one oil and filter change, two greases.
A couple of washes,
All in all, a very enjoyable trip away,
A few things to take from the trip, make sure the spare tyre and wheel are in. first class condition, as when I had to use it , the rim got a crack and the tyre was just about worn out, make up and take a service kit , with grease guns ,one for chassis and one for the u/joint, engine oil and filter, with removal tool.
When travelling off the main roads in an old car you sure attract plenty of attention.
We think nothing of it, we are just traveling along enjoying ourselves and the drive,but obviously its not something you see everyday,a 92 yr old ford burning along sweet as.
The 34 will get a full service tomorrow ,a vacuum out ,not a polish as thats something only my daughter inlaw Kirra does.
She did the pin stripping on it.
thanks for following us along on our trip to the nationals.
My citrus trees are loaded as no one has picked them, the mandarins sure are nice, and my lawn needs some water.
