I want to share live experience of my upcoming round trip from Ibadan to Anambra State with pictures.

Anybody interested should subscribe to this thread and enjoy.

January 3, 2014: my car has gone for checks. I have already serviced it just before Christmas so is ready. I will be replacing my worn our front tyres by tomorrow.

I will keep everyone posted as I make final preparation for the journey.

I came back from mechanic this evening where I fixed a leaking n vibrating exhaust pipe. The guy at first didn't really know where the issue was coming from but later figured it out. The car sounds good.
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 9:10pm On Jan 03, 2014
The car is a Toyota Carina E 1.6L engine. Pictures tomorrow as it is dark already.

I don't know why most Toyota saloon cars have exhaust pipes that do not withstand the pressures of our bad roads.

Following thread. Please post enough pictures and have a smooth ride.

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 9:37pm On Jan 04, 2014
Well, I'm set for the journey by the special grace of God. The worn tyres were changed and other final checks carried out. Finally, I washed the car and about to go to bed now.

Will get fuel before the journey tomorrow. I heard that is better to buy fuel in the morning but can't really say why grin

Why're you so surprised bro?
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by Nobody: 10:07pm On Jan 04, 2014
Out of interest (and curiousity) how many miles / kilometres approximately are there between Ibadan and Anambra?

errrm, a little side attraction here, oga Siena, what can cause the radiator water to fill back into the bottle thereby doubling the level when viewed from the bottle (above the 'full' indicator, and besides, the bottle is the only water inlet) then within two minutes, the bottle is back to normal (the water level back to normal)
This happened after parking the car i posted above from a little trip of 5km.
Pls o!
Sorry for derailing but i love the car!! sad

Possible air-lock. Has the cooling system been worked on recently?

I would open a fresh thread for this though, as subsequent replies could well and truly derail this thread.

Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 5:11am On Jan 05, 2014
I woke up around 4am today because I have not parked. I hardly park my luggage for a journey a day before always do it early morning on d day of the journey so this one is no exception.

After prayers and shaving, I'm now putting few personal things I need for the journey together. Departure time will be around 6:30am but ofcourse I will post the actual departure time.

I have a challenge about uploading pictures. I'm using an iPad and the pictures I took at the mechanic workshop could not upload probably because of the size. Can somebody help me how to either reduce the pixel or trim down the picture?

I forgot to mention that I will be traveling with a friend who will help me to take the pictures and upload as we cruise along. So just hook up to this thread and have fun.

@Siena It is about 400km. I will post my odometer reading before I drive off and then the reading when I get to my village in Anambra State.
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 5:14am On Jan 05, 2014
The route for this journey is:

Ibadan to Ore through Ife and Ondo town. From Ore to Benin By-Pass the to Asaba. From Asaba to Onitsha then to my village.

This will be the first time of going to Ore thru Ondo via Ife. So by Gods grace is going to be a smooth and safe journey
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by aieromon(m): 7:06am On Jan 05, 2014
Is this route shorter? I would have expected driving down to Ijebu Ode and bursting out into the Lagos-Benin Expressway.

Safe trip.
Re: Live Updates Of Upcoming Road Round Trip From Ibadan To Anambra State by ping2ping: 7:10am On Jan 05, 2014
Took off at 7am. Stopped over to buy fuel at one of my trusted filling station in town.

You need to install an image size reducer on your device. Try Minima

Ha ha.. very funny. How many HP does this car produce? No disrespecting but overtaking a car that is cruising doesn't mean ur car is faster. I get this a lot.. sometimes when I'm cruising at 120km/hr, a car overtakes me and the driver looks at me like he just won a trophy for overtaking me, I just laugh like "I don't have ur time"

I got home around 2:45pm. The journey was smooth by the Special grace of God.

For the pictures, I had my friend I travelled with take snap shorts with his BB and transferred to my iPad thru BBM so I will upload them now.

I saw this Peugeot 404 pick up van between Ife and ondo. I didn't know it still on the road.

The road from Ondo town to Ore has lots of bends. Had to be very careful there. The view looks good though
