Hey Volks, Well, I made it back home yesterday and today I'm going to try to catch up on some of my email. The trip was 5175 miles total. My baby held together but when I got home she developed a squealing/squalling sound that I *think* is coming from the right front wheel bearing. I'll lube the wheels tomorrow. The 5-speed tranny was a champ as was the engine and alternator; even the oil pre-cooler (new name for the secondary cooler) proved to be essential. Travis and I were amazed at the number of cars that would slow down to check out the car before passing us -- my personal favorite was a '97 Porsche 911 at dusk that appeared out of nowhere, *really* slowed down to check my baby out, smiled, and promptly vanished into the horizon :) Hmmm, though they could've been checking out that 5' Texas Longhorn skull in the back... Well, I've got a lot to do so I'll try to get up to speed with y'all. My thanks to Brian F., Phil D., Big Al, Jake K., Luis P., and Tom C. for making my trip enjoyable and hopefully to anyone new out there who I met at the show who are now on the list. Next year let's have the show in the cooler, hillier and greener Northwest ;) Toby Erkson air_cooled_nut@pobox.com <-- Please use this address for email '72 VW Squareback 1.6L bored and stroked to 2.0L, Berg five-speed '75 Porsche 914 1.8L, ORPCA member Portland, Oregon, http://www.pobox.com/~toby_erkson/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
