Picked it up from the transporters 2 days ago, and had to drive it through peak hour Melbourne, to get it home.
It was a bit nerve wracking to begin with, having no feel steering, and really long brake travel, and the size of the thing to get used to, but once on the freeway, the Caddy was in her element, and just cruised beautifully.
I'm in the process of fixing some of the electrics, so I can get a roadworthy certificate, so then I can get it registered.
The climate control is not working properly, and I need to get the demist working for the roadworthy, as well as the windscreen washer, but I'll sort it out .

Sounds good Terry, I'm sure some companies did a better job than some other companies with the steering conversion.
Have you ever driven a car that big before?
I never have, and I use to work at a Buick dealership back in the late 60's.
