I been busy with other projects and just haven't had it out. It was a 100 miles each way to the show and weather was nice around 85, so I put the coals to her and drove 70 to 75 mph as I running a little late. Even at those speeds, I still got 14.5 mpg going and 15 mpg coming back!
The show was a lot of fun, they gave out 75 or 80 awards, mine was one of top 10 vehicles of the show, according to judges!
All in all, a good day, now out to the garage to clean off bugs and tree sap......

I guess its the laid back style, nothing fancy just clean and neat. At most shows, I feel bad because they keep picking it, I just go for the drive and chance to talk with folks.
I am still real happy about how it drove, straight as an arrow. It was so easy keeping up with traffic, that 3.08 gear was a good move!
Thanks again for the nice posts, see you at the next show. Joe | | |
