I once drove my Tri**ph Spitfi*e from Ottawa Canada to Miami Florida to
New Orleans, Houston, Pheonix, Los Angeles, Reno, SLC (broke a pushrod
between reno and SLC),up to Windsor Ontario and back to Ottawa. Dont
know what the milage was but i sure had fun - this was in the 60's.
Longest drive I ever did was not in a LBC but a Mustang - Drove from
Connecticut to Ottawa to Vancouver, Los Angeles, Houston, Mexico City,
and ended up in Guatemala - Sold the Mustang there for what I had paid
for it new 6 months previously!
