I did fit a new fan for that reason before I left Belfast

And a switch and thermostat

You'll need to find why it brewed up

D

The head gasket had just rotted thou

Oh rats-

Any word from the garage ?

How difficult is it to get the head-gasket? Did it arrive on time??

Head gasket is in but at what temperature should the fan kick in at?

It's still not on even at this stage

About there, you wouldn't want it any hotter.

Is the fuse ok?

D

Yeah, the fan kicked in a few seconds after posting this

Just I'm more used with the Panda that clicks in at about 95’c (or there abouts)

Its a Fiat, its a gauge, not an instrument.....

D

Yes, I believe their accuracy leaves a lot to be desired

Added to the comedy fuel gauge....

you know Jim- it might be worth knocking-up a radiator-fan override switch for the purposes of the 1st part of this trip...

Was so busy trying to get home at short notice I didn't get a chance to post up that we made it to Liverpool docks quite safely and the little one is parked up, ready for loading onto the Atlantic Star on Wednesday

that's a terrific picture; did you take that yourself Jim..?

So, it's sailed?

Away to never return to these shores...

Yes, took that myself on the Nokia. I've soo oldskool lol

The Cinquecento left last night so is somewhere in the Irish sea

on rather than in, I hope

D

that's really exciting-

have you done any work towards establishing a buyer yet, in the U.S., for after your adventure..?

I've been a little quite recently but only because we have been under embargo on our USA project. Today I met up with James Walshe and the very talented Jamie Kitman with his son Ike to have our cars featured in a upcoming edition of Practical Classics magazine.

How do you mean 'under embargo', Jim?

Are you in the States yourself, now..?

If thats not photoshopped, thats a Cinq under the Brooklyn Bridge

D

Yes, I had Jamie Kitman and James Walshe with me for a few days while we were driving about New England and Pennsylvania and I wasn't allowed to put anything on social media about it

Anyway, I got up to this and I wish that was Photoshop.....
