Three days to shipping!
Just three days to go before I take the Landcruiser up to Felixstowe for it to be shipped to San Pedro, the container port near Long Beach, California.
All the car preparations have been completed and the photo below is of the car at RSG of Littlehampton, West Sussex who have carried out all the servicing and modification work. Following the problems I had in South Africa with the car 'bottoming' on really rough roads, I have upgraded the rear suspension with heavy duty springs. The car now sits much higher and hopefully the higher ride will eliminate the underside of the car hitting the ground.
We have just received the latest entry list and 25 teams are entered for the event. Many are old friends from previous tours but there will be many new faces which will add to the fun.
The container ship leaves Felixstowe on the 25th September and should arrive in San Pedro around the October 20th. We fly out on the October 28th for the start from Ensenada, Mexico on the November 7th.
I've just been hearing about the latest hurricane to hit the Pacific coast of Mexico, the second in as many weeks. I hope that our drive down Baja California will not be affected too much. Once we take the ferry to the 'mainland' of Mexico from the tip of Baja we will be driving away from the coast, so any storm damage from hurricanes should be limited.
