There is an emergency contact list that someone had made up last year after Slits took his long road trip. I dont remember who it was that had it but it is an Excel spreadsheet with names and numbers all over the country. You should be able to find out who has it doing a search. Or someone will chime in with who has it and how you go about getting it. I am old and have CRS  <_<

this CLUB is as COOL as driving my 914. and that's DAMN COOL.

I feel the fear.....thinking about driving mine on it's first trip beyond walking distance from home this Sunday...Colorado Springs to exotic car show in Denver area.....

I took a road trip in my 308 Ferrari one day after getting it out of the shop (and just a month afer buying it)...Colorado Springs to Las Vegas. THAT was a scary (but un-eventful relaibility wise) trip

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.

don't worry about not hearing the thief trying to take it. you'll hear the tranny when he's trying to find reverse. taking lots of extra stuff ensures you will never need it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) glad to hear the trip is going smoothly.

"Get ya motor runnin'...head out on the highway...lookin' for adventure..."

Yeah, I always worry about theives too. But the above poster makes a good point, my 914 for one is a tempramental beast that takes a knowing hand for it to run smoothly.

*****thread hijack*****

Lotus 65,

If you want to meet some local 914's and their owners, come out to the MAC autocross on Sunday in St. Cloud. There will be at least 3 914's there: Myself in my fairly stock 1970, Ottox914 in his "improved" 1973. And a non member in his all out race 1974. A nice diverse group of 914's.

here is the link to the autocross...

Well I was in my '76 coming back to LA from Laguna Seca on the 101 (300 miles). There are stretches of the 101 you'd swear are a stones throw from pluto - 'specially in the middle of the nite. Well all of a sudden, the thing hiccups. Got a shot of adrenaline. No cell, but packed lots of junk food. Was able to transmogrify its energy content into willpower, overwhelming the teeners attempt to go into funk mode. Got home w/o further incident. Moral: cheese puffs, donuts, and diet pepsi may allow you to avert disaster, but forms an ungodly mixture in your tummy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif)

thanks for the list! it'll help me.
i'm planning a long trip in late august w/ my 4-year old daughter... it's a bare minimum of 750 miles round trip. (immortal glassey-eye's)
i'll be watching for other tips for sure! hey that makes me wonder if there is or should be a trip thread here to network for emergency contacts and to share experience.
good~vibes at ya

Greg Robbins is the guy, goes by the alias, uh ... Greg Robbins. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Greg can set you up with the list, at least you'll have the razor blades along, if things go really badly and you feel you need to do yourself harm. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Here I am...back in Shaker Heights, in my own bed. 914 is in the garage sleeping after a great trip.

Temp never got over 220. I finally fixed my oil-pressure guage...just had the ground, and signal packwards. That was all good too.

More details tomorrow, but everything was PERFECT!

Man...these things are SO worth the effort!
