This thread is mostly for the "old timers" of BCF.
You new folks might not know about the

<span style="color: #006600"><span style="font-size: 14pt">Legend of the Crypt Car</span>:</span>

Here goes- I looked down at my trip meter as I was
leaving the marina this evening. And was totally stunned.
A whole bunch of personal records smashed

<span style="color: #000099">1. 600+ miles driven in ten days with no breakdowns!!</span>

That's more miles than all 12 months of 2006-(67 mi),
more than 9 months of year 2007- (200ish) and more
than the first 9 months of year 2008-(400ish)

2. Three drive days of 100+ miles per day w/o breakdown

3. First night sortie accomplished - 90 miles R/T at
65 to 70 MPH average speed.

4. Turned over a total of 2,061 miles driven since purchased.
Yeah, about hundred breakdowns to attain those 2000 miles.

5. I presently have no repair parts on order from anyone.

And Golly- I could begin to list all the BCF members who
helped make today possible but the list would be like really
long. I hope in some way I can now help other rookie owners
like myself overcome their own DPO Pedro-ised systems.

Remember my No.1 hobby is fishing. Fantastic to now be able
to combine two hobbies in a single day. And also light up
a young lad's eyes today.

Thanks all !!

bu-bu-bu-but Randy, I did tow the boat.
See it docked and ready to go, in the other photo?

d :devilgrin:
 
That kids face is like a Master Card commercial.....priceless
 
Is it possible that the trip meter is broken and you have only gone like 6 miles? You should check that trip meter, sounds like it's going haywire.
Seriously, great news.
 
Hi Dale,

"CONGRATS" on your & your cars success!!

It had to happen sooner or later!!

Dale; In one of the pics. looks like your about ready to Tow your boat with the TR?

Have Fun Fishing & getting there!!

... and in the second picture it looks as though you have threatened the car that if there is any more nonsense you will click the hand brake off!
Well done Dale. You will soon be overtaking me. I just passed 20,000 miles in my TR3, but that has taken me 17 years to accomplish. I noticed that the year after my son was born I only did 136 miles!!

:winner1:

At 600 miles, you've been all over the island. That's too cool!!

Dale,

The young man bears a striking resemblance (IMHO) to Barry and with his fingers in a "V", it just caught my eye as a victory lap in Crypty.

Probably not good humor, no malice intended.
 
Congratulations Dale.
As the professionals say in therapy sessions "set small goals".
You've got to 600 so now look forward to 1,000.
