[DeTomaso] Home at last

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

In regard to taking 'old' sports cars on multi-thousand mile drives, during 
this period one of our friends from Reno bought a '71 Corvette roadster 
sight unseen-in Miami- and he and his wife flew to FL to drive it home. This is 
a 3500 mile jaunt in a completely unknown car. Did I mention they are both 
in their '70s? So far, the trip has gone through some of the worst, wettest 
weather the Midwest has seen in decades. 

At last post, they were in Kingman AZ, in the middle of a street rod event, 
having a ball. So far, the Vette has lost its wipers, tach and has an 
intermittent start problem- like Panteras, probably due to aged ignition switches 
or ground trouble, But the pair are still driving, still married and this 
was An Adventure!   Something lacking in most citizen's boring lives. FWIW- J
