Ian L Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Got her home today, 126 miles / 4 freezing hours with a short stop at leigh Delamere Services on the M4 to warm up. Left Wales with a sticking rear brake and got just a mile from home when the brakes failed so did the last bit on the hand brake, not bad considering the time shes been stood. Big thanks to the lads that drove back with me today :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Your a brave man driving it back from Wales, I think brave is the word.... Didn't the fact that the engine is half in the cab keep you warm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 You could do a dry run at MK museum 1940's weekend, last weekend in August, and get jules and Tobin to bring something along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
