It's got a total of 310 miles on the clock since it hit the road for the first time last year. 140 of those were during last years trips for technical control and 170 of them since it was truly back on the road complete with it's brand shiney new norwegian registration plates last Sunday.
During the last 170 miles nothing major has fallen off, it developed a very noise U/J which I have changed and otherwise everything is working well. It also appears to have developed a bit of a gear oil leak from the front seal on the gearbox. Not so healthy, we'll have to keep an eye on that.
So, wether she likes it or not, we're heading off soon for 2 weeks around Europe in the old girl.
The planned route is approximaetly 2600Km, Home-Sande (In laws chalet to "demostrate to MIL that car is finished to a satisfactory state")-Oslo-Kiel-Rotterdam-North France-Ingelheim am Rhine-Nurnburg (and a circuit of the Nurnbergring)-North Germany-Copenhagen-Kiel-Oslo-Home.
The actual route may well be Home-Oslo-Kiel-Kiel-Kiel-Kiel-Kiel-Copenhagen (by public transport)-Kiel-Oslo-Home.
Time will tell, well be taking a few litres of EP90 with us...

Well Done!
Hope the next few test drives find enough to make the trip a success. It would be great to see a Nurnbergring circuit certificate posted on the blog. Just finish the circuit!
Hope that gear oil stays off the clutch. All the best.
All I can say is how wonderful to have such patience and to ensure that every detail is correct to the fianl 3mm. Loved the wheel alignment. Could you came back to Cork and do same for the Rover?
Do so hope you achieve your trip round Europe. Please mind how you go.
All Love to Mrs VL too.
In the words of Baron Frankenstein....."It's alive!!!!".
Well done.....from an "Igor" who contributed to the final result.
