    Hello everybody.Have a very happy new year.
    I went to keep it at Le Havre (Normandy Harbor). Despite of four weeks in the ship it started right .I went to refuel it and return home. The return went well (600 miles) to the West South (Cahors). The only problem is a leak on power steering. A hose is in bad condition. I have added a quart of oil for 60 miles traveled.
    At the forwarding agent:

    They are two things to watch. They are at the bottom of the windshield. I should scratch to see what happen under.

    The gallery is enough wide to install a longboard. The two rails slide to accommodate the loading.

    The carpet is new. The headliner is in very good shape. The dome light is cooked by the bulb.

    Plastics armrests are become brittle over the time. The dash pad is broken.

    The glove box is in good shape. The car have few options. Only cruise control and clim. The blower motor and heating hoses are out of order. With the new carpet this feels the leak on radiator ...
    It has no clock. Equipment is far away from the Country Squire or Colony Park.

    On the right side it is the location of the spire tire. No rust. All is here from the jack through the strap to remove the wheel. On the other side there is the tank
