Guidance To Alaska

[capt_bintang]

'ello you'orrible lot, (a term of affection), Ive got a stable of MK IX's and I am planning a trip to Anchorage, a long standing bet. The route looks simple enough, the Canadian element not quite sure of yet. I plan the usual support stuff comprising tyres, tools and sense of humour. Anyone got any tips and trick?

Cheers
Peter

Alaska Airlines.
Best tip this time of year.

Houston to Alaska? That's like... 4000 miles. Man, besides a fantastic drive (want to do it myself one of these days), great scenery, adventure, vacation... what do you win from this bet if you make it?

And I thought I was adventurous last summer in the XK (https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcforum/ubbthreads.php/topics/786837/Adventure_stupidity#Post786837)... but there's a lot more parts to break in a MK9 :wink:

Make sure the car is in good nic, and the cell phone too.

And the camera!

No guidance, but visual confirmation that there are jaguars up there:

I flew up there about a year ago, picture was taken in anchorage, car looked restorable or good for many many parts.
