Lancefield 2017 - 25/26 Feb Lancefield Showgrounds

Well got the truck out today, washed it then found an oil leak, well not so much a leak as a fountain every time the engine revved. Found 2 nuts and the T piece on the oil filter all gave 1/8th to 1/4 of a turn. Took it for a drive to get fuel and catch up with a couple of people in town and it isn't drooling oil any more (and yes there is a lot in it)

so went to check the XP Ute as a backup plan. It hadn't been driven for a while and needed 5 minutes on the charger as there wasn't quite enough oomph for the starter motor.

So I will be there for Saturday. which vehicle? it depends what I find when I open the shed in the morning

Bruce wouldn't worry too much about the oil leak just take the muffler off and think it's a GM 653.

The wife decided to come and wanted her mobility scooter so the XP came out to play yesterday. It was a good day, if you got out of the wind it was sunny and pleasant but in the wind was as different issue - it went straight through you. Hopefully today was a better day at the show.

Similar experience at Balla swap, wind was freezing but when it dropped it got quite hot jumper on jumper off etc
