After spending the last few nights in a garage being checked over, I got the final verdict. Would the Towncar be fit for another trip around Australia with me at the wheel this time?

The force is obviously with me and my luck is holding. The news was good, but during TCs physical, it was discovered there was more than than the oil leak wrong with her. She needed a new clutch aswell.

Anyway - the point is, TC has been fixed. Cures have been found, remedies made, and TC is in fine working order and I've got the keys - woohoo road trip here I come! The Towncar prognosis is excellent and that's all I needed to hear.

The TownCar hasn't been in such good working order for years. It's the first time she's been serviced in forever, and I reckon she appreciates the attention.
I'm figuring she just needed a little TLC, and so long as I look after her, she'll look after me. Driving her back, she sounded FAB - purring like a kitten. She just feels happier, if you know what I mean? Everything is tickety-boo!

The roadmaps are in the door pocket. I know where to put oil, water and petrol.
Once I've got new tyres, I'll just have to squeeze everything into the backpack of doom and bid a fond farewell to Adelaide.
