Lots of admiring looks and comments being expressed. The mechanics were most helpful and as had happened on the entire trip so far the assistance has been terrific. This morning we went about ensuring that the various moving parts of the car were up to scratch, with Steve arranging a hoist at a garage nearby. A great night ensued during which we traded stories of what had happened since the last adventure.

Last night we ran into some of the drivers in this competition who we had met during the P to P rally. It was hard work and we were exhausted.Īll went well though and we had little difficulty getting to the hotel. Identified two minor matters that involved windscreen wipers and demisting as well the vulnerability of the navigator when trying to find the hotel venue in rush hour traffic in a city you’ve never been in before, and in fading light.
It just bucketed down and the temperature plunged to 4-5 degrees. The car ran very well with few issues until we ran into the most atrocious weather traveling from St John to Halifax in Nova Scotia. Met some interesting people on the way when enquiring for directions. Stayed in some interesting towns en-route including Rhode Island. This proved to be the case as we made our way north east. He is a perfectionist with a passion to make sure that there will not be any failures. Seat belts, springs, special wiring for the GPS, trip meters, screen mounted camera,new car station, mud flaps and on and on.

It took Steve all of three weeks to do the essentials plus fit the car with the equipment required on this trip. Difficult for Steve as his is usually noticeable. He had to lock himself in the garage to avoid being noticed.
Apparently these places were busy 24 hours a day. Our journey from Cleveland Ohio to Halifax in Nova Scotia, some 1500 kms, was a good test for the car that Steve has been working on since the 5th of May.Ĭleveland is not the safest city in the US and he had some interesting experiences during his stay from a workshop that was adjoining a whorehouse on one side and a crackhouse on the other. Well, this is the first communique from Steve and I as we prepare the car and ourselves for the 2nd Trans America Rally.
