Hi List,
made it up to the Dixon Car show and swap meet yesterday -eventually. A
lovely warm northern California day; the radio's playing old time rock 'n'
roll, I'm in my own little world... and I miss the turn off by about 15
mils... Ended up in Sacramento; realized something was wrong, backtracked and
found it.
Saw the cars of 2 list members -- Keith Mienhold and R Shaeffer(sp?) - but
didn't get to meet them... Now, there were some beautiful 6's there; made
mine look like an oldie, but as a daily driver, it was okay. Don't know who
won the best of class award; if I find out I'll post it..
Question for the non-O/D drivers.. Having done a carb rebuild and tune over
the last couple of weeks, this was my acid test. Drove 207 miles, used about
9.7 gallons of gas - about 21 mpg. Speeds were 75-80 going up, 65-75 coming
back. How does this mileage compare to everyone's.. I suspect I'm running
just a little rich...
Oh yes, the swap meet. Got a tonneau cover -no damage, tears, only dirty...
$25.... Got a convertible top down boot cover thingie, showing a little wear -
$15... Was well worth the drive..
Today is a cloudless "it shouldn't happen in San Francisco" type of day; maybe
a run down the coastal highway for an early afternoon lunch in Monterey... Ah
yes, life is pretty good when you drive a '6.
