My 914 departed Tampa, FL early yesterday morning, bound for Monterrey, CA 2727 miles away.
The plan is for my dad and one of his buddies (Chris) to drive there this week. I am going to fly out to meet them on Thursday. Driving back Sunday afternoon. Plans have been developed for the last year, but of course are subject to the car's temperament! Chris is a real gadget guy. He wanted no less than three GPS's for the trip. Dad prefers his Triple A road maps. They compromised on two GPS's (one for driver, one for navigator), a phone mount, a dash cam, and the Triple A maps for backup. Chris made up a nice mount for the GPS and phones, plus power ports for all of the above devices. It slides right into the ashtray mount. |

I stopped by the car and talked to both the driver and navigator. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They were surprised to hear that the story was also posted on the World; they only knew about Rennlist, evidently...

Might be the co-pilot? Truly awesome! Cross country in 4 days! |

Might be the co-pilot? Truly awesome! Cross country in 4 days! The first time I saw that car it couldn't be driven one mile safely. Ed and I were only given three weeks to get it ready for the new owner to drive it from CT to FL. This summer we made final adjustments to the L-jet fuel mixture because it was still running a little lean. So I received regular updates by text from the driver and got to see some of the pics posted by Tom even before he posted them here.
