She should be fine, it's had a new steering damper so drives smoother, got another set of alloys coming tomorrow so I'll replace the buckled wheel and she should be good to go..

I guess you check levels regularly anyway...so just get in and enjoy the cruise. it ain't no sports car but you didn't buy it to drive fast. I run along at 55-65 on motorways. Drove my SJ to the sister in laws in France...200 miles to Dover then after ferry crossing 300 miles through France. No problems and 1000 return. And if the worst happens you have recovery which is not ideal but saves on fuel

Cheers dude, will take it easy I can't see why she shouldn't make it I mean it runs sweet apart from the emissions vein a bit over, I'll try spraying a little redex directl into the air intake and see if that cleans the carb a little, when I grease the props and UJ's I don't need to undo the nipples do I? Just push the grease gun hose onto the nipple and pump it in?

Ive just come back from a 600 mile trip to holland, my (bad) leg was a bit sore after but the zook made it nicely!
Small incident with the starter motor packing up in the queue to get on the ferry but nothing a quick bump start couldn't fix.
Had to rebuild the starter last night but otherwise it was a smooth as silk!
I know you will be much lower ratio than me but I was doing 70mph all the way there!
