I know your trip was way to short to really see much of anything ! It would take months to really see all of that !
I would love to just see and stay in one castle for a month just to check it all out ! I would be lost half the time I am sure ! LOL

Thanks again Robin !!

Yeah....there is never enough time to get deep into any particular place.......but on the flip side.....this being an old farts bus tour we got to see so much more per day than we ever would have on our own.....no worries about where to stay or how to drive on the wrong side of the road...where to eat ...nothing....everything planned for you....but you also had blocks of time to yourselves to explore.....there are places I 'd like to go back to and place that we didn't even go to.... a week in Scotland and a week in Ireland is quite limiting......but we saw so much.....and there is so much to see....so much history...going back thousands of yrs.....our stuff we think of as old aren't squat compared to buildings going back to three digit years.....and still in use......

Great pics !!
Considering Australia has only been settled for 200 years, a visit to the Uk is like a time warp !

Jimmy!!!!

I fixed it!!!!!!! I fixed it!!!!!!!!

Gov linkage hooked up on outside of throttle needed to be on in the inside!

That's why throttle was backwards!!!!

Started second pull and right at speed!

 

[scallywag]

How fast they get it to go ?

403 mph !

The Turtle went pretty good .......spent the day on lots of picking up loose ends.....light bulbs...things like that....no leaks or problems with the work done so far.....in 1976 Volvo had a light failure idiot light....pretty cool actually....had a brake light out...idiot light only lit when the brake pedal was depressed......had a plate light out.....idiot light only came on when the lights were on...everything works now except the windshield washer pump....look into that tomorrow night.....brakes are seating...getting better with every hard braking session......idles pretty good considering it had a full tank of 8 yr old gas....down to half full now.....gonna fill it tomorrow with high test.....get some "pop" mixed in there...bet she smooth's right to out......then go back to reg...
