A few friends joined my in the parking lot of the local mall to welcome the arrival of my new/old Land Rover. It arrived in perfect condition and started right up.

It was no exaggeration to say I’d have to learn how to drive all over again. No power steering; no power brakes; I’m in 4th gear by the time I’m doing 25mph. No more zippy corners like in the MINI. I’ll have to work at it to make this my daily driver but that’s the goal.

The truck does fit in the garage with maybe a couple of inches of vertical clearance. The adventure begins.

3:00 p.m. Friday, August 24 – Land Rover just left Tulsa. ETA between ten and noon tomorrow (Saturday). Transport truck will arrive at the Capital Mall parking lot in front of Dillard’s. At least that is the plan.
6:40 a.m. Friday, August 24 – Texas! Put the beer on ice!
9:20 p.m. Thursday, August 23 – Past Albuquerque. Less than 1,000 miles to go. Maybe this weekend?
7:15 p.m. Wednesday, August 22 – Just north of Phoenix. Headed this way.
7:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 22 – Crossed the border into Arizona
7:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 21 – Barstow, CA
3:00 p.m. Tuesday, August 21 – Truck on the move.
6:00 p.m. Monday, August 20 – The truck hasn’t gotten far since leaving SF Saturday.  Somewhere near Salinas. He still has to go to SoCal & AZ for his last two pickups & then everything on the truck goes to MO.
