went for a drive today

I'm in love with....my son's car!

I took it out for a serious shakedown today.

DAMN!

It didn't hiccup, sneeze, belch or fart in over 140 miles of VA freeways and backroads!

Neither did I! I was too busy grinning like a fool!

Good to see it runs! How's the temp doing? I just can't believe you didn't belch or fart in 140 miles

[tbrduc]

Temp ran middle..all day.

I don't know what the numbers are but it was fine!

Is that Riviera Blue?

[tbrduc]

I don't think so.

It's "please spray blue paint over this lovely Anthracite and don't worry about sanding and it's OK if you don't change it under the hood, doors or trunk" blue.

:-)

I bought it that way. That's at the bottom of 'the list'.

Tom - nice scenery. Where is it?

Hi Jim,

I needed to test sustained freeway speeds and back roads stuff, of course. I headed out 66 past Marshall and pulled off osomewhere near Delaplane and wriggled my way back through Middleburg via Halfway Rd, Zula and then Delaplane, Rectortown, Upperville and back into M'burg.

That water is the Aldie Dam in Aldie.

150 miles....grinning the whole way! Lots of top gear action and plenty of 2nd, 3rd gear fun stuff!
