Legal disclaimer
Gromit, a Refurbished Land Rover Series 2a,
Arrives in New Mexico
"Gromit suffered no ill effects
from his roll on/roll off shipping." This is the
news that Steve Northup, Gromit's owner, communicated
to LIVERIDGE BRITISH 4X4 LTD back in the UK. Importation
was "amazingly smooth".
Then, Gromit quit on a Houston freeway,
in the middle of rush hour.
Nothing was amiss. Gromit acted like he
was out of fuel, but that was not possible as Steve had
just filled the driver's side tank. As yet he hadn't looked
for the second tank, but did so and found it. Empty. He
discovered the fuel tank switch by the driver's left foot,
moved it, turned the key and watched the gas gauge go to
full.
Steve had to drive through
a hurricane on his way out of Houston, five hours worth.
The wind and rain were relentless and brutal. Gromit
was stable and secure.
Gromit got better than 20 mpg for
the trip, and once actually went over 60! Like Steve
says, if he had wanted speed he'd have "bought
a Ferrari". In the thousand mile journey Gromit
actually passed 6 cars, but one of them may have been
stalled.
There
were no signs of overheating, even in the 90-plus degree
part of Texas.
