Took a quick pre-holiday road trip to Yosemite. Fantastic weather. Waterfalls were at full flow. If you have been there during spring snow melt you know what it is like--the roar and echoing boom of these huge waterfalls all around the valley. Not to be missed!
The car ran wonderfully well. Smooth at freeway speed. Plenty of power on the hills. Although on the way home last night the quartering headwind near San Louis Reservoir left me feeling a little unsafe at 70 mph. Backed it off a bit there to keep the front end on the ground. But the early evening drive down the mountains and through the foothills was great. I took mostly backroads through the old mining country and then across the great expanse of orchards and farmlands back to the coast.
Best calculation on fuel economy (if there is such a thing anymore) was about 19-20 mpg. Does that sound about right for a BT7? I leaned the carbs a quarter turn on the mixture screw recently. Seems to help on the top end when getting on the freeway.
It was good to get the car out and drive it a on a long trip.
