BCW III Update:
Saturday, we made our trip.. sort of. Not sure if Diann will want to go
on another long distance trip for awhile. Thank goodness for cell phones
and AAA. We had taken a little side trip from our planned route and got
lost. At mile 143 after departure, with gauge reading half full. Sputter,
sputter, sput... Yup, I RAN OUT OF GAS in the middle of nowhere... 2 hours
later in the middle of a Florida afternoon "shower", we were on our way
home. Only logged 294 miles on Saturday.
Sunday, I spent about 2 hours working on the '3 and the rest of the day was
with family...
Today, Diann had to work, so I went for a drive through the country north of
Orlando to a neat little town called Mount Dora. Some great antique stores.
Picked up a couple things for Diann and got back about 30 minutes ago.
Mileage 209. I realize that BCW was through yesterday, but, it was driven
in the spirit of BCW...
Mileage As Of Now: 79819
Beginning Mileage: 78368
Miles Driven: 1,451

Subject: Brit Car Week III Thursday update
Since I posted on Monday night I spent the day Tuesday driving to Ocala
(from Tampa) and cruising in caravan around the area with a buddy + 2 of his
friends. (TR3,TF,MGB,&TR6) for about 200 miles. Returned home by driving
to the Gulf coast and travelling south to Treasure Island and home. Total
miles 481
Wednesday was a dull day. Drove to work then home (sort of). Total miles
83 - keep in mind the normal is 16.4 miles.
This morning I left the house at 6 (unusual for me - I am a night person)
Drove to Sarasota and back to Tampa and work by way of the Sunshine Skyway
Bridge. Total Miles 155 so far. I am going to be going fairly straight
home so shouldn't be more than another 15 miles today.
BCW III so far:
Beginning Mileage: 78368
Mileage As Of Now: 79340
Miles Driven: 972
The sad point: Other than those I have been in caravan with; I have only
seen 3 lbc's on the road. 2 - TR6's & a MGB GT.
WHERE IS EVERYONE?
Tomorrow is a work day. Saturday or Sunday, my wife & I are planning on
heading down toward Lake Okeechobee, trying to stay off the interstates.
Figure about 500 miles that day. First long distance trip for Diann...
Should be "fun"...
Later,
Carl F. Musson,
You can't tell which way the car went by just looking at the road...
TR3A's - TS25264L ('58 Almost Daily Driver)
