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. |

Ken,
Was Babydoll paying a visit to Taylor Chapman? He's going to help out with my teener in the next few weeks - already brought it by his shop twice. On one of my visits, there was a gorgeous green early 914 there, and I think he said that the owner lived in MD... is that Babydoll? And quit giving away my secret roads! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I live in West Springfield (not far from GAG) and my usual one-hour jaunt includes Hampton, Henderson, and occasionally going out to/past Clifton. I did a much abbreviated version yesterday around 4pm. Flip |

QUOTE(flipb @ Nov 16 2009, 08:45 AM)  Sorry dude. Babydoll lives off of Hampton. Those are some nice 914 roads, although right now there are so many leaves, I would be extra cautious. |
