I drove down to NoVa today to take Babydoll home. She sports a new TPS circuit board, sway bar link bushings, fresh round Mahle wheel, taco plate sealed, and a bad vacuum leak found and rectified. She takes a while to warm up, but once warm will run fine. Starts and idles really nice. When I got there, Caroline took Babydoll out for a test drive at a rather higher speed than I drove on the way there. Babydoll took the winding road with aplomb, although I advised caution due to lots of leaves on the road.
Drove my taildragger home... smoked out the garage after having been sitting since August, but ran great all the way. No drama. |

So, how did Caroline like driving the 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Doug (the previous owner) told her over the years that it was too powerful and she would kill herself in a fiery crash if she tried to drive it. So the car sat there since August, basically untouched. |

More questionable output from Doug... or maybe Caroline just TOLD you she didn't drive it. I thought I remembered seeing a 911 of the same color at the last Potomac autocross (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

I don't think my car will pass tech inspection. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
