Goodbye Svarta Damen

This was probably the last time I saw SvartaDamen. Here she is being loaded for transport to Holland. Goodbye, and thanx for all the good moments!

















The queen is gone! Long live the queen! I now really look forward to all good moments our new boot café hopefully will give us!

The Mothership has landed

The mothership has landed! Yesterday I picked up our latest Land Rover. It's a fully equipped Discovery2 with all extras, including a custom built center differential locker. For the moment the fleet consist of three Land Rovers, but only for a few days though. SvartaDamen has been sold to a buyer in the Netherlands. The new Landy got the name "Moderskeppet", which means the Mothership. It's a suitable name since we hope it'll be our travelling base, AND also because it's the first Land Rover that my wife really likes to drive. Yes, she has already been on two tours this morning, and I guess she will have an evening ride as well :)

SvartaDamen has served me well, so it's a little bit sad that she has to leave us. Especially now when she is working so nice. But as soon as I sit in Moderskeppet, all other cars are forgotten.

Braking News

Does anybody think it's strange that the brakes didn't bite when you see my front disc?

The axel had start leaking oil at the disc. A good cleansing, new pads and gaskets solved the problem. The right front caliper also got the pistons cleaned or renewed.

The rear calipers suffered from heavy wear. The gaps were filled with chemichal metal, and will hopfully do their job better from now on.

Tomorrow Svarta Damen will hopefully hit the road again!

Finally, a picture of the youngest Land Rover fanatic in the family.
