A random selection of posts about travel and tinkering with mechanical machines. Mostly cars from 1937 to 1999, manufactured in English speaking parts of the world, but also kayaks and sewing machines. So here you can see how we travel, drive, paddle, break fix and find on a regular basis. On a desktop, you can choose your favourite item from the list on the right, choose a page from the menu or simply scroll down to see the latest.
Picked up the Jeep CJ today. It was ready after an extensive rebuild of the gearbox and transfer case. I took the opportunity to take it for an extended testrun and a chance to see more of the high waters. The gearbox is much more quiet. Though I can still hear a slight whining noise the shrill wailing I'm used to has gone. I would say there's a Lexus quality if I use my earmuffs. Also the oilleaks have been fixed with new seals.
