10,000 miles / 28 days
a pile of parts transformed into a supercar!
Then set out on the open road;
a journey to test men and machine!
...A Throwback to the Endurance Rallies of Old...
TR3 to the Arctic
From the rolling plains of the mid-west to the remote Arctic tundra of Northern Alaska; and then back!
With hundreds of miles of remote gravel roads, it is a feat for any vehicle.
Mid-way back we were rammed by a dumptruck, even though running 5 extra lights.
It scrunched the back and pushed us forward, blowing out the top of the engine.
Fortunately we were carrying a few tools and able to rebuild the engine in a hotel parking lot, in a day.
From there we cruised the remaining 2500 miles, no problem.
Now de-scrunched and tuned up,
we are just about ready to go again!
This time, sights are on the North East.
The Far North East!!!
