Baltimore to Leesburg

The morning of Monday 14th June was when i travelled to Baltimore to collect GUH 2D, it was a perfect day, I had already got the antique tags, collected the truck and trailer and headed off to the docks. The journey went very well there with a quick stop for the loo and then when i got near to the port i had to call the port escort who would take me in to collect GUH 2D after its seafaring journey from the UK. I contacted the escort who met up with me and we headed into the cargo area of Baltimore docks, got our pass and then headed to the Ceres compound, once i had turned into their compound there was my Land Rover sitting there with the other vehicles in the distance. We had to wait for the Ceres guys to finish their lunch break and i stood in line being the first one for when they returned. They opened their window and i handed them the paperwork, they checked it all over and advised me i owed $5! With this paid i was instructed to go and collect my vehicle and pull up next to the office. We headed over to the Land Rover and lined the trailer up just in front of her, the escort said that he felt he was in 'Daktari' the only thing missing was the zebras and lions!!!! He then said lets see if she starts! I hesitantly got inside, the first time in over a year and put the key in...... held it over to warm the heater plugs and counted to 15...... turned the key the next turn and the engine roared into life immediately! I drove the Land Rover onto the trailer and we secured her with the straps and chains attached to the trailer. Once secure we drove up to the Ceres office signed the paperwork and got our pass to leave the docks. I bid farewell to my port escort and headed back to Leesburg. It took the same time coming back and soon had GUH 2D in her new place of residence, Leesburg, Virginia, USA.
