I
don’t know about you but when I’ve
got a lengthy expedition approaching
I can barely sleep for about a month
beforehand. Yep, call me crazy but
all the excitement about hitting the
road can all get a bit too much for
me, and the only way to stop the jitters is to
get out in the shed and spin a few spanners
for a while.
Yep, prevention is better than cure and the
first line of defence when embarking on a
long journey into the wild blue yonder.
This time, though, I managed to con
my mate Blake into giving the old Troopy
the once over for the day. He’s a secondgeneration motor mechanic/auto electrician
with a keen eye when it comes to picking
up potential problems during a pre-trip
inspection. So I’m more than happy to hand
the reins over to him when it comes to getting
the big Troopy up to scratch.
So let’s see what he found, shall we?
