First long trip

On Saturday morning at 6:45 I left Bear Creek and went to Moorehead City ariving at the coast of NC at 11;05 It was a busness trip that only had Oue hour of work. and the rest was top down joy riding. OH what a BEUTIFUL Day!!!!!

We made a round with stops at Fort Macon, Atlanic beach peer and the public beach at Emerial Isle. We only had one detour through Camp Lejunue MCB. And my first chance to open it up good On I-40 North a 170 mile stretch with 70 mile a hour speed limit It ran at 80+ almost all the way up. That was COOL!

Not a single problem the intire trip .
My only regret is I had to come home. Sniff ,sniff, wimmper.

That's just great! The only inconvenience for some (like me) is the loss of privacy; more apparent while looking at your photo.

Barry, is that thing an automatic???

Good stuff, Barry!

Yea! that's the type 3 tanny I fitted in it. Im not pleased with the first to second shift its to quick, my friend and I are atempting to figure that out with a nother project my 72 superbeetle is just about to get a re worked automatic and we hope we have fixed that problem. if we have we will repeat the trick on the speedster.

But it did pretty good on I-40 at highway speeds, it wakes up above 60. but the oil temp starts to rise at 85 and above. but it held 80 fine. and still got 24 miles per gal at that speed for well over 110 miles.

Its very hard to take a picture when everybody is checking out your car. I finally just gave up and took this picture.
