How is it you wound up on a gravel road? Detour? Wa or Idaho?

It looks like you hit the summer "full repaving to base" season on either the Interstate, US or SR highway! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) So was your Lapis Blue a later color change, or a #98 or #99 special order original color? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) PS - a 3.6 deduction total is a pretty good score too - at Parade especially - BTW! PSS - Just noticed you are/were a Mohawk jock - OV1, correct? ... up to when were you flying them?

Considering we had to wear LED headlamps to see while we prepped the car in the underground parking garage at the hotel or sweat box might be a better name for it! My flight in a Mohawk was in November of 1990, so its been a while (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

I think I would have had a stroke having to drive on that road! Reminds me of the Parade at Aspen (Snowmass) in '78. Pitkin County road crew decided the morning of the concours to put fresh tar on the road to the concours site!!
Word of warning- if going to the Parade next year in MO, be ready for humidity!! I think I'm still sweating from concours prep in '84 when the Parade was last there... |

Yes we had to drive thru a couple of section with fresh tar and crushed granite... makes a nauseating clinking sound. I was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood twice. The only place I've been where you can't tell if you dried off after a shower due to the fact that you sweat while toweling off! |

We've had 4 nephews at Leonard Wood, 3 + son & Benning, & son did SpecOps training in MS a couple of months ago, & they're all sweat boxes! Son is currently at NTS Ft Irwin with his 4th Div unit for the last 4 weeks at 110-125 degrees - yeah, it's a dry heat" but doesn't matter at those temps, plus it's "Monsoon Season" here - so still more humidity than usual. Sounds like the Spokane garage was a PITA! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

I remember that road work from '78, I was there with my first 914 ('75 1.8). ...but '84 was in Wisconsin, year before was Lake of the Ozarks. |

Congratulations!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) That is a lot of work. It must have been even tougher after that long gravel road.

Thanks for the congrats!
We have found that if we spend a week detailing before we leave that the car cleans up easier once we get there. Even after miles of dirt road and raining:) |
