Hello,

since the LE is nearly done and I can drive the car I decided that I need a new challenge. I bought a 1983 911SC Cabriolet in Memphis, TN, and I plan to pick up the car on the 28th and rive it all the way to Seattle. The car is mechanically in good shape, will get fresh service and oil before I start, but needs some paintwork and the interior needs to be done (carpets, seats). I plan to drive from Memphis via Kansas City, Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Bozeman, to Seattle. If someone lives close to this route would be great to get your contact information, you never know what happens (and AAA is only towing the first 200 miles smile.gif )

I am in Memphis. I would ask if you bought Shane's car but it was headed to Jersey I believe. Need me to drive it out to you? I love a good road trip!

Hi Shoe,

it's Shane's car smile.gif , seems like the deal with Jersey didn't work out and I was able to get the car. Looking forward to drive it to Seattle. I'm now covered in Spokane and Kansas City thanks to Rohar and DarrenG.

There's a guy in Mitchell, SD named Jonathon who really helped out one of our guys earlier this Spring. If you have problems between Souix Falls and Rapid City you should give him a call. Hell if you end up stopping for gas in Mitchell you should look him up; sounds like a great guy.

Have a great trip.

I'm an hour (in the wrong direction - due east) of Jackson, too bad. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

Shane lives in Jackson. I'm guessing he is flying into Memphis and meeting Shane there. I was going to help Shane deliver it to Va. to meet the guy from Jersey. I guess this is why I didn't get the call to go to Va.

Let me know when you are going to be in Memphis, maybe we can grab a bite to eat or something. You bought yourself a nice sound car. I brought back struts from Hershey for it last year. Have been on many drives with Shane. Was really susprised he actually sold it, that was his baby.

I plan to arrive in Memphis at 6:00 PM on the 28th, meet Shane at the airport, and then immediately hit the road and drive for a few hours. Shane told me that one of his PCA friends will meet him at the airport and will drive him back home. I think the car was in good hands from my talks with Shane and I love the color.

Is Moncton too far out of your way? First beer is on me and we could go eat fresh lobsters on the wharf in Shediac!

We will be having the SCCA meeting the 28th at 6:30 pm at a delicious pizza place. You should stop in and say hi. The pizza will be on me.

Can you PM me the address and I might stop by, a pizza sounds like a good idea before starting the long trip.
