Thank you guys! Wish the weather was so nice in December here as in this photo :) But it looks that it's even cold in TX now.

It was a great trip, I just can't imagine better car to travel thru the States :)

The LSC came to Europe exactly one year ago, it was unloaded on Dec. 3 in Bremerhaven, Germany and I drove it home on Dec. 4. The weather just started to go bad in Germany in Poland, I wasn't lucky cos they just stared to use salt on roads.

Previous owner said he drove the car in the rain only once in last 13 years! After my trip back home it turned out that lower control arm ball joint boots were gone and the first ride thru Europe caused some rust and ball joints started to squeak. Now it has new lower control arms, new rear shocks, new OEM front air shocks (the air springs were like brand new but one of the shocks was bad).

Here are some pics I took during the trip back home in December 2012.

Glad you got all of the little bugs sorted out with the suspension. Congrats Mariusz! :thumbsup:

I'm assuming the guy standing on the back of the forklift is adding some extra counterweight since the Mark VIII is kinda hebby? :D

Yes that's what he was trying to do standing there :D Two guys were inside the container lowering both rear wheels using manual chain hoists.

I also replaced steering wheel air bag housing with later Gen 2. style :) This is how it looks now :)
