A long overdue update
I thought that since I had been away for so long that an update might be in order.
The car has been on the road for 6 years and has racked up a little over 16,000 miles on the odometer. It has proven to be reliable and has served us well.
Most of the miles have been put on it traveling to shows and other events. I don't get to drive it much otherwise. Most of our trips are 200 to 400 miles round trip. We put 1800 miles on it in one week this year during the NTBA nationals in Mountain Home, AR, including a side trip to Springfield, MO. It's made that trip twice over the years.
We also took it to east Tennessee, but trailered it on that trip. The only reason we hauled it was that we also took the motorcycle. That's the only time it's been trailered.
On that trip we drove over the Tail of the Dragon (US129). That's a famous motorcycle and sports car road. They claim 318 curves in 11 miles. Easy to believe, too. The little car was a blast to drive there!
I wish I could say that I got everything right and the car is the same, but that isn't quite how it worked out.
Just in case......Happy Birthday Richard. .
