QUOTE(billh1963 @ Dec 11 2012, 04:27 PM) I don't think I can wait until the Spring...plus, Ethan probably wants it moved at some point. I plan to take a week to drive back. Google is showing around 2500 miles; so, if I spread it out over 6 days (assuming no UNPLANNED stops) it shouldn't be too bad. If I could meet some teeners for dinner on some of my stops that would be awesome. 2500 miles isn't really that bad. Many teeners drive many more miles than that in a year...they just don't drive it all at once! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I'll get the car throughly checked out before I go and have some spares. That should help. Of course, with a 40 year old car anything can happen! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Don't let it sit. These cars like to be driven. Mine always runs better after a long haul. |

Take whatever route is best for you. Take as much time as you need to be safe. But you damn well better take care of Lews' car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Maybe I should drive you out there in Betsy and follow you back just to make sure the car makes it alright. Don't worry about the snow. I drove Christine to Kansas and back in February on an untested motor and it was a small blizzard when I left. However, that was only 1628 miles and not 2500. I did do LA and back in one weekend when I went and picked up my LE and dropped one off that I had sold. Made for a very tiring weekend.

You should buy a car out in California and we can drive back together! Then, you can put the engine from Christine in it and sell it as an awesome 2056! |

I have 2 rust free '73s and a rusty '74LE and a very rusty '73 named Christine. Hopefully my next Porsche purchase will be an '87 or '88 911. I have already bought 3 from California and Christine was one of them. |

Some might remember Don (and his Dad, Big Don) for building some incredible 914 race cars back in the day. Even a few magazine covers about his builds. Your I-10 route comes right past Palm Springs/Palm Desert/La Quinta area. Too soon for your overnight stop, but fuel and food maybe. Randy |
