Sam Buchanan Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Today my '48 P15 attained a milepost of sorts.....the first foray away from the shop to the other toy box. Thanks to many hours reading archives of your past posts and the helpful hints offered when I asked, the ol' girl smoothly and effortlessly made the 25-mile round trip on a four-lane highway to the hangar and back. She cruises nicely at 55mph and tracks straight down the highway. The only wiggles are due to returning the waves and thumbs-up from other motorists. There is still work to do (house training for one thing...) but after four months of bumper-to-bumper attention the P15 has awakened from its five-year nap and is now a real road car.

Sam Buchanan Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) Found this image in my files from when the '48 was being loaded for the trip to my shop. The indignities we suffer are all for the cause.... ? Edited June 22, 2019 by Sam Buchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
