Tomorrow I am trying to decide to take a chance on a fairly long drive- about 10 hours one way from my place in South Carolina toWashington D.C. - i have a conference there Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
I would be spitting the drive in 2 parts on the way up, about 6 hours wed night, then the rest with a couple stops on thursday. before getting into D.C. that evening. , Then getting together with Chris-(BANUS914) in Fredricksburg on sunday before heading back for some 914/928 driving(maybe a pre-purchase test drive too). The question is should i take the 914? IF i do this i thought it would be good to get some names and contacts along the I95 corridor - wanting to stop at Scotty B's if timing works out - there is a car i plan on test driving there locally as well, so (going to tranny clinic there in April too!) -maybe get a quick jack point rust repair estimate for near future, Car is a 75 2.0 with stock FI, but many , many new parts has been running very good, just got a newly re-tuned and sealed MPS that i have been dialing in this week- all seems well! but you never know All new seals- so no leaks brakes and suspension's all really new, new tires exhaust and H.E. newer. Since having issues with electrical connections in the harnesses, since replacing the FI harness with a new one from Jeff Bowlsby, and a refreshed igintion harness from him, i have had zero problems, driving almost daily- drove to work today in the rain!! . last long trip i took was to Daytona last fall - thats 5 hours down no problems So please pass along any wisdom for such a quest, contacts etc. thanks Phil |

enjoy the drive? IT'S I95 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) and it's a business trip.
that said - if you decide to slide thru delaware - stop in milton for some burgers and beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) 30two24nine804seven |

I could use a few parts though, maybe I will wander over thatway to see the sights, burgers and heater j-tubes or what ever- the last one I got was pretty bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) j.k. I'll see what the weather is, too bad its not a month later, id be bringing my clubs with.. But that part of I95 I have driven before, can be pretty bad, and with the weather forecast I decided to drive the jag. Maybe next time. Its not the distance so much. I think this car could go 1000 miles easy . But leave it in a parking garage I did not want to do. But I that you for the advice, and the contacts, younever know what might come up. Pw |
