<span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="color: #CC0000">FINALLY!!!</span></span>
A long, three year, pent up post!!
Wow, first day driving AMOS and I get 5 hours and
160 miles miles of rip roaring, high speed, mega
mountain, switch back turns and down right fun/pleasure!!
More fun than my "Ropa" back in '74.
"Well, smack my lips" but I had fun today. The Mrs a tad
ticked off but our one week cruise starting Sunday will
tone her down totally!. Plus a zero balance credit card
for her to use!!!!
After 47 miles driven early afternoon, the Crypt Car belched
out the exhaust pipes with a huge BUUURRRRRP & FART! and died
dead as dead, after 1000 miles driven with no breakdown, the
"new" car under me is this strong, aggressive, agile chap
named Amos. A hard working, reliant Amish lad!
I stomp the break pedal, downshift into 2nd and floor the
gas pedal as NOW Amos heads away from the safe, flat ocean
highway, exits a radical right turn and charges directly up
into the rugged interior mountains.
45 minutes of switchbacks, curves with no guard rails-
Amos and I are zipping along 3000 feet above sea level.
Anyone in BCF recognize the photo location??
Back down the mountain; onto an Expresso and Amos seems to
hum at 3100 RPMs in 4th gear. Amos's sweet spot, I assume.
Thru the long mountain valley, down the expresso, over to
Levittown, a stop at the Biker bar for a cold one, continue
to Vega Baja and take nice cow farm roads home.
A MIRACLE today- 160+ miles driven with no breakdown, no
stutter, no bad idle, nothing but a strong, reliable,
1969 TR6 revving under me.
I am not sorry even a small portion that Gardener will never
meet the Crypt Car. I much prefer my Amos with cajones!!
regards and thanks to all,
dale
PS: remember- every $3 or $4K I spent on repairs/parts for the TR6,
The MRS spent an equal on a cruise ship vacation. We are taking cruise
No. 12 on Sunday!! I probably drive the only $100,000 TR6 in the world!!!!!
:lol:
