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
