3500 km Road Trip

[rovohn]

Went on a road trip last week with my '57,went from Langley,BC stopping in Castlegar,Banff,Hinton,Dawson Creek,Prince George and Williams Lake.
The car ran like a top the only issue was a trans cooler line fitting that had come loose,easy fix on the side of the road.
I got a shade under 20 mpg(cdn)
Looking forward to more trips next year
The pic is taken in Hope,BC where the first Rambo movie was filmed

That sculpture looks just like him. The car looks great. I love BC......feel free to post more pics (please, lol) that's about 2170 miles.....awesome!! That's about 1000 miles longer than my longest. I don't have a clue as to Canadian gallons.......I seem to remember they are larger? I'm curious if you have a KM speedo.....my guess is yes, or just one that shows both as many had/do.

Hey Rich
A Cdn gallon is 4.54 litres and a US gallon is 3.78 litres
When I changed my instrument panel I installed a 200kmh GPS speedo from Amazon,it was only $100 and eliminated the speedo cable.
The MGB GT belongs to my friend it's had a GM 3.4 V6 conversion and makes it a really great long distance cruiser,I used to have an MGB roadster but only a 4cyl, we drove it to New York and San Diego

I've got a GPS speedometer in mine also......love it......it's even got an altimeter, a 1/4 mile timer, etc. Makes it so much easier than a cable driven. Where did you put your GPS receiver pod?

Rich
I ran the cable behind the garnish mouldings,cut a little slot and it sits in front of the rear view mirror,pretty much out of sight
