I drove 45 miles down to Charlotte Hall MD (from Fairfax VA) to attend the Southern Knights Coming Out show for 2008. I was able to meet and talk to Jim and Rosina Mothershead, so that was a real plus for me. I was a bit anxious about my car over the road, as that is the farthest I have driven it in one day, but it did fine!

Please see my pix at http://picasaweb.google.com/KenFSX/SouthernKnightsComingOutShow

best regards, Ken

Tin,

I had a good trip, thanks. The car didn't let me down. But I did find out at 65 mph and hitting certain winds, the rear of my hard top wanted to lift off! The car didn't come with the hardware to hold the rear of it down. I will get that hardware. The top is only secured by 2 clamps on the windshield. Temps stayed good and the trans stayed in 4th at 60 or better. The lockup in 4th is not working, but I will get that fixed soon.

Jim didn't have time to drive the car, as he was talking to/knows half the people at the show and there were around 450 cars there. And it wouldn't have been easy to take the car out of the show area with all the folks milling around. Then in the early afternoon, it clouded up and started sprinkling. So, many folks, including Jim and I jumped in our cars and motored home. Ken

Hey, Ken......nice to meet ya. Great car !! What trans do you have? 700R4 or 4L60E ? Ron Francis makes adjustible mini-module to lock converter. Call Alan or Tony at C2C/Wild Rod to get the rear top attachments. Don't open the windows while driving.
See you at "Spring Fling" on the 27th. Then "Back to the Beach", May 3 on the Chesapeake Bay.
Ya gotta drive 'em
