Oh WOW!!!!!!

Congrats on the turning of the ODOMETER!!

Vehicle has been well maintained !!!!!!!!! Will run another couple of hundred grand if you stay on top of it...

As you know, timing belt or chain is critical around 80-100,000 miles depending on if it is a chain or a belt.

ALL FLUIDS. ESPECIALLY BRAKE fluid and power steering fluids are usually neglected and need changed. This keeps seals working clean and nice and without developing leaks.

Also keeps the brakes and steering working the way it was engineered to.

I am confident you are familiar with the rest of routine maintenance items like hoses and belts. HOSES especially. They do wear out over time..... Nobody thinks to change them...

Have the radiator FLUSHED, CLEANED, and then flush the entire cooling system, rinse, then fill back up with a slighter heavier ratio than 50/50 of antifreeze/water as you are going to a colder climate.

Great job on the longevity of the vehicle !! I am impressed...

Re: “Kindly report in asap if you made it safely to your destination and back please?”

That was sure nice of you! Yes, as of about 6PM, we've returned to Virginia. Quick trip... lots of miles covered. In fact, about six miles short of our apartment this evening, THIS happened: http://youtu.be/GFfPHba62DY
