D-Day is approaching!

Today we were reunited with dear Matlida after she spent many weeks in a shipping container.

The only problem we found was a one flat tire - we can live with that!

Here is is in the warehouse where we found her.  I hope she will forgive the rough treatment to get her over here - the exciting once in a lifetime trip for a '48 Chev Stylemaster may make it all worthwhile.

Tomorrow we leave on the start of the official adventure.
