The Brits Have Arrived
Yesterday (14 June) my wife and I met up with the intrepid Brits on the day they linked up with their cars. The cars were shipped from the UK on a roll on, roll off (ROLO) ship. The cars all seemed to have arrived without damage. A couple of them arrived with empty gas tanks. (On a ROLO ship, cars are allowed to have only 2 gallons of gas in them.) I can picture the seamen racing a couple of Tigers around on the ship! Actually, that could not have happened - the ship is packed way too tightly to have anything like a track.
The cars had been delivered to a shop in Ventura. The six cars (along with one from Oregon and one from California) for the tour were lined up for a photo op. Also, Kirk Smith dropped by with his Tiger to meet and greet the Brits.
One of the cars had an issue with the charging system.
