This was for about 5 hours today covering 350 miles home, so 700 miles this past weekend. Get out and enjoy them! Yes, I wish I had an O/D trans, but for now I'll keep running my 3.70, 4spd car up and down the interstates as it is.

only ever "ran out of gear" once

Pretty cool to see an KPH speedo! And just for the record, on mine, the speedo reads a little fast so I was going about 75 in a 70 zone.

This is the fastest I'll let my wife drive my car.

My wife enjoys driving mine, so I encourage it. She wants a classic car of her own so we're working on it.

That would have been a long 350 mile trip for me today, haha!

Yep...I got 3:70s in mine....Know the feeling....

jr9170 03-19-2017 08:39 PM

At that speed yes would have been a very long trip.

jr9170 03-19-2017 09:16 PM

Don't forget that city driving can't go too crazy with the speed.

Brought the '82 out of winter storage today and it was a great day for a spirited drive on the interstate getting her home. Only 70 miles, driveway to driveway for where I store her but fun with the tops out and all, nonetheless! I only have a two car garage at our house so I winter them over from Dec to mid-March each year at our lake house garage so my wife's SUV can be inside and I don't have to scrape ice off the windows on the cold mornings. The Sequoia is back on the driveway until December! Happy cruising in 2017 guys and gals! :cheers::flag:

Drove 250km (~150 miles) to a Hillclimb yesterday, it was pouring rain the whole way there. Had 4 competition runs on the very wet and comically slippery track, then turned around and drove the 250km home again...
