Here's the trip. I leave tomorrow morning, and return Sat night.
Fri 10:00am Cleveland, OH to Columbus, OH - 125mi/2h Fri 3:00pm Columbus, OH to Auburn, IN - 191mi/4h Sat 4:00pm - Auburn, IN to Cleveland, OH - 211mi/4h 500mi in 2 days...I think it is doable. If Scott can put 6K on the Porscharu in 2 weeks, I think I can make it! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) I've put 800ish miles on her since the restoration, but I'm a bit nervous. I'm changing to new pads before I leave, and then I'm out the door. Wish me luck! I won't have 'club' access for a while, but if anyone is along the way, can you email me your number in case I get stuck?? doug@hardman.org will go to my BlackBerry. |

Here I sit at the hotel in Fort Wayne...at the end of an un-eventfull day!
Temps were 190-220 all day...400mi so far, and all is well. The Petronics pads are AWESOME! Glad I put them on this morning. Satelite radio worked great....I'm super happy with everything. Having her out in the parking lot of a hotel without an alarm to wake me up is a little un-nerving, but I'll get over it. I parked her under a light, outside our door... Thanks for a good wishes from everyone. I'll let ya know how we end up tomorrow when I get home. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |
