Wow, dart has one leg to run and only needs 8 points for the win! Can he do it? Ohh, be careful dart, watch for those road crews! Calculate your route carefully! If you tie we will have a run-off sudden death. If you doen;t make at least enough to tie, then you miht as well bribe as you'll have nothing to loose! Going to be a sqeaker folks!

Thanks for the pressure boss. The pothole crew on the last leg cost me 5 points, and this wouldn't even be close but for that "chance" encounter. I'm going to put this to bed now by running the 15th leg. SHould be all over by 1900 est.

By the skin of my teeth, and thanks to the sharp blade on my pocket knife I was able to scrape the crud off the plugs in time to only lose 1 point. THANKS BASIL, that was a really fun run!!! And I mean all 15 legs. Never knew there were that many small muni airports out there. Must be the absence of the no-fly zones we're full of here in the Balto/DC metro area.

Wow, congratulations dart! Talk about a close race! Well Dan, you done good too - just not quite good enough. There will be other races!

Its just that plastic bends so easily around the corners.

That's funny...there have been times when I had to do exactly that. The one I'm driving now doesn't seem to do it, and the one being restored dang well better not.

probably the hose washers I use to seal the tubes.

the restoration car is expected to be able to make a trip to the other side and back with NO PROBLEMS.

trying to decide if I should order the supra 5-speed conversion bell housing and other bits from AU or NZ.
and input???

I have been in Milano Italy and just checked the results. 1 point! Good one dart, Being the newbee, I would have felt bad about winning anyway. I was looking forward to that print.

Watch out next time.

DanZ- have a dtr in Portland that we expect to visit next year...perhaps in the SP we "think" will be out of the restorer's shop by then. Figure a CTC trip would be a good test. We can compare techniques over a drink of something.

Thanks much, that was a nail biter up to the end. I have enjoyed the 3 or 4 I've played-run-whatever, & look forward to the next chance to get lost.
