I arrived safely in Wildwood, GA from Portland ME. yesterday. The car held
up better than I did. What a grueling experience. Four days of 70 MPH
driving in an unfamiliar car just waiting for the oil pressure to suddenly
drop. But everything held together. There was a lot of shake at 65 though. I
understand that that can be corrected by proper balancing of the wheels.
Thanks to all on the list who recommended mechanics on my way. I stopped at
Leyland British Motors in Arundel, ME and Britanic Motors in Avon, MA. They
were both super knowledgeable and helpful.
Several boxes of parts came with the car. One item looks like a huge box
wrench. It is 6" long and 4.5" in dia. Looks like it is used to remove the
knock offs. I already have a wrench to do that in the trunk. Anyone have an
idea why it is?
