TD ANYTHING ... dash, glove, ???

I appreciate the TABC site, chat, ect. 'emensly' albeit I'm only a former MG F-2, MGA, MGB and NOW an MG TD sorta guy that just slightly squeezes into the c onversations.
I will say, though, that I'm still waiting to find a Tabc that has done 10,000 miles, or more, in one continous drive????
Hope us TDers can keep listing-in for fringe advice now and then.

Just for the record, Rick:
Harry Pyle drove his TC 12,600 miles around Australia in 31 days (a bit
more than you did and in a shorter time frame) and subsequently drove the
same TC completely around the world. OK, he did have boat rides when he ran
out of roads.

Rick
Not to take anything away from you and your trip of last year in your TD,
but there is one TC which has taken trips that make most others pale in
comparison.
That is, of course, Harry and Deidre Pyle's TC 2446.
A 30 day, 12,000+ mile trip around the continent of Australia in 1988,
followed by a 30,000+ mile trip around the world in 1993 certainly show what the
TC is made of (not to mention Harry and Deidre themselves).
Try to get yourself a copy of Deidre's book, MG TC's Drive Them 'til the
Roads Wear Out, which chronicles their epic drive.

PS There is always the possibility of in flight
refueling I guess - but topping up the oil would be
tricky!!!

Enough of this. Any TABCwould easily do 10,000 miles or more in one trip, if there were no bloody TDs on the road in front to slow it down!

Rick:
Now lets be nice about this. I have driven my TD over 200,000 miles with
little or no problems. Sometimes is front of a TC, and sometimes in back of
a TC. Terry Sanders of this list has enjoyed many miles in front of my TD
in his TA.
Cheers:

Oil? What oil? Everyone knows that TCs do not need oil added between changes.

Oil changes? Really? I have always found the a quart a day keeps the
change away.
