Woke up excited and fresh today, got the vehicle on Paul’s ramp and worked started on the truck. I had an appointment at 12 p.m. with a 4×4 Magazine to take some Pictures and do an Article on the trip and I remember Toby telling me that he would call letting me know when he would arrive in Banks, I could hear the phone ringing but couldn’t find it then I realized that I had shut it in the roof tent so I unpacked the tent and called Toby back and he was on Time. The photo shoot was great I think Toby got 740 shots some taken on the dual carriage at speed which went really well and I didn’t realize how close you have to get to the camera car to get good shots it was fun, sorry to any cars that got stuck behind us.

Toby was a really great bloke and really professional and I offered him the chance to ride in the truck in South America if he wanted to in the future.

Well we are running out of time and we haven’t managed to do the wheel shims or adjust the rear load sensing valve which I wanted to do, Paul put some wax oil on the fuel lines and I said goodbye and made my way down to the midlands. I met up with my friend Manni and went out for a few drinks in town then went over to the Wrekin and camped out in a remote spot for our area.

I’d like to thank everyone at West Coast for the great work done to my vehicle and Ruth look after those Rabbits.
