Make Posada the second night then!

That should do it.

When you check the cable, check the path from speedometer to hub. Look for kinks or sharp bends. Mine had one and I’m pretty sure that’s why it failed. I re-routed the new one more carefully and it’s been good since.

That ain’t even bad though. We gotta do it.

It’s 540 miles to La Posada Hotel in Winslow, AZ. If you’re in a hurry, that’s your first overnight stop. It’s worth the stop.

Thanks for the clarification, Paul.

I gotta say…regarding that ford…I did not see any sports cars in the video.

The TDr bows are simpler than that: lightweight aluminum tube and clamps and hinges from a boat supply place. Basically it’s the same stuff they use on bimini tops. You can mount them so they fold down inside the tub.

Wow! Good job!

This thread reminds me: I’ve got some dodginess in my tail lights as well. Spent half a day last year looking for shorts, bad grounds, weak bulbs, corrosion, etc. Everything checked out, and one side is dimmer than the other. I bet one side is mis-wired.

That settles it! Paul, where’s your house on this map? And when are you going on vacation, so we can all show up, empty your freezer onto your grill, and lounge in your pool?

Hey, Cliff: Welcome aboard. If your car really has 100 horsepower it will be one of the stronger TD replicas out there. It weighs about 1800 pounds (200 less than the original TD), and has twice the power of a stock VW engine.

A few Julys ago, I saddled-up my 1500-cc(?), 46-horse BCW, loaded in a couple day’s provisions, and my wife, and drove…[Read more]

Thanks for posting that, Paul. I think I want to do it…

And yeah, Allen, there have been a couple cruises from the Carlisle field that included covered bridges. Probably time to resurrect.

I consider the second one a spare. If the one you’re using ever fails, clean the terminals and plug in the other one.

I mapped out a prospective run in Northern Delaware a few years ago, ending at Stoney’s, a British pub. But it never came together.

That does look like fun. Last couple years, I’ve been doing the Historic Races at Lime Rock on that weekend…maybe switch it up this year if people are into it.

Like Bill said. Check all the things. Make sure there is no air in the system (a problem in my car with the engine so far away from the grill). Make sure you have a good fan shroud, good thermostat, good water pump, fan belt, fan (turned the right way), all that good stuff.

If all that checks out, and she still overheats, then think about cutting…[Read more]

Yeah man!

We’ll miss you both for sure.

Field trip!
