First Long drive of #6463

[Paul Salsbury <paul.salsbury@xxxx>]

Well last weekend saw the first long distance drive of
Vin 6463, Belfast to Cambridge. 257 miles since the
body off rebuild.
All went extremely smooth, which is more than I
expected :-) well believe it or not 7 miles from
journeys end a hole appeared in the water hose between
the water pump and header bottle. Luck would have it
that it was only an inch from the end. So I was able
to cut of the offending bit re attach the pipe fill up
with water and carry on.

All in all was really happy with the performance of
the car.

Best of all... For weeks I have been trying to get my
bonnet to sit flush to the wings, I have removed the
bonnet, elongated holes,changed rubber seals and
lifted the wings with shims, to no avail.
257 mile of driving and its as level as a snooker
table.Just needed to settle down after the rebuild.

Cheers

Paul
