I took a trip up to Brisbane last week, ostensibly to see the kids and attend the Jeep Swap at Canungra, but also to reacquaint myself with my Series 1.

Leon has been living at the Ho Hars for the past 4 years and it was about time he came back to me so I could get some use out of him.

We had a great weekend together and he performed faultlessly on the drive to and from Canungra and then it was time to load him on the trailer for the run home to Tamworth.

Of course, I took a few pics.

Next morning after camping overnight on the way back near Tenterfield about half way.

Safely back and in the driveway at home.

Thanks to Harry and Carolyn for looking after him for all this time, but he's now mine, mine, mine all mine once again.

Sorry to see it going south of the border Numpty, Leon is a great little truck.

Cheers, Mick.
