The first 7 minutes of this almost 11 minute video is a tour of the instrument panel and the engine but if you stick around for the final four minutes you see the truck on the road and pulling a hill not unlike the one leading to our house. If you’ve come this far you’ll want to watch this video.
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.
At long last the truck is on the way. No delivery date yet but it should take less than a week to make it to Jefferson City, MO., depending on the number of stops en route.
Don’t know if I’ll get any lead time or simply get a call from the driver saying “come get your truck.” I have a few loyal supporters who have been with me on this journey and say they want to be on hand for the un-trucking.
I’m sure Mr. Wolf was happy to get the truck out of his shop. Space at a premium.
In preparation for next week’s shipping, Mr. Wolf has detailed the truck. I can say with almost 100% certainty this will the last time it gets anything more than a squirt (inside and out) with a garden hose.
Mr. Wolf has been working the phones, looking for a good carrier to transport the Land Rover from Bay Area to Jefferson City.
“Got a pick up window with a great carrier, next Wednesday -Friday (Aug 15-17). They’ll tighten up the window early next week. They’re sending a driver that handles the Bonham’s & Gooding auction vehicles. I figure a week or less on the road depending upon how many stops they have to make before you.”
Sounds like we might see the thing in JC by August 24.
