My GT6 and I made it without incident over the weekend from Dallas to Pittsburgh and, after a couple of days of business here, I'll push on to NJ for a week and a half of R&R.
I didn't even need to add oil. Usually, that means the oil is empty but in this case it means that my engine is still in pretty good shape. It is definitely running a little rougher than it was when I left so I will use some of the spares I brought with me to try and clean things up a bit before leaving for the return trip next weekend. Anyone have any suggestions for "must see" roads on the return?
I stayed off the interstates for 95% of the trip. I headed north into Oklahoma (saw a bear on the Talimena Scenic drive) and then over through Hot Springs to Little Rock. A torrential rain had me wondering about my sanity but after it passed, all was well. I headed north from Memphis on US51 along the Big River into Kentucky and ran across US62 all the way to Lexington. From there, US60 into WV, up along the Ohio River on WV2, US33 east to Weston, WV and US19 (miserable road!!) on into Pittsburgh. The Kentucky and West Virginia segments were spectacular. In WV, a guy on a Harley got ticked off because he couldn't stay with me on the curves (the new Dunlops are incredible!!). He caught me when I stopped to stretch and we had a nice chat.
I can't remember having this much fun in such a short period of time. These cars are for driving!!
Cheers from the road...
