my mapquest indicated about 130 miles from NOVA taking about 2.5 hours so breakfast (earlyish?) and 11am sounds like a plan. i think nathan is working on his car preparing to go. i contacted norustscott to see if he is planning on going but the poor guy might be torn between which car to drive; either his 914 or his new WRX twin turbo powered vanagon! root and jimkelly seemed to be working on their cars to go. justin9146 just had a new baby and i haven't seen anything from him. tony is a no-go (tony lives near me and has a very nice -6). caroline and zymrgist and babydoll are hoping to attend if they get finished, if not, maybe driving in a benz (hey, it's german!). check back here often and send some tech quiz questions to me!

Jim,

I think 2.5 hours is very optimistic from NoVa. I always figure on 3 hours to Philly from where I live (3 miles from the Mason-Dixon line). We haven't decided on a route to take, or even which car to drive. Caroline suggested that if I can't get Babydoll stable by then, that we should take my 911, which is also still in pieces. I'm leaning toward the Mercedes because it's reliable and a good highway cruiser.

I'm making this coming weekend a 4 day weekend... current plan is to get the 911 back together so I can put Babydoll in the garage, rear end first... I figure I might be able to put the engine/tranny in by myself, since I spent so much time under the 911 doing similar work. All I need is that little washer with 6 holes that goes under the flywheel bolts, parts-wise.
