Bringing It Home

Yesterday my Dad and I went to collect the Corona. As expected it was another ridiculously hot day, but fortunately the aircon is one of the few things that actually works on the Landrover. Collected the car-trailer from Modbury BP, using that interesting computer system they use. As far as towing went, it was pretty unremarkable, easy trip down to Seaford, loaded and tied down no worries, and a lazy trip back. Craig (the previous owner) was pretty helpful, and he said he has a newspaper ad that features the Corona in it, so it'll be interesting to see that. I don't really envisage much progress on the Corona for a few months yet, as life has a little too much going on, especially with the Fringe show coming up.

Backing it down the driveway. I now realise that my driveway is actually pretty steep and narrow.

Corona in the shed. XR doesn't seem to mind sharing.

Not surprisingly the brake master cylinder is shot, I had to pump a million times to get any drag whilst coming off the trailer ramp, resorting to the handbrake and then chocks. Anyway, it's in the shed, covered in a few old sheets for now.
