Folks
I went on another jaunt in the 82 300td that we recently reattached the mini
folds on and rebuilt the turbo and replaced the oil pan and turbo drain
seals etc.
Left friday afternoon for washington dc hauling a load of valuable paintings
and prints from a recent art show here. Went to somewhere in the shenandoah
valley, fri nite (maybe harrisonburg). Slept in a crummy motel fri nite. Got
going about noon went to DC and dropped the art. Left DC about 6 pm in a
mess of traffic saturday. I intended to stay with a friend in richmond, but
he was fighting with his wife or something, so he met me at the interstate
in richmond about 8.30 pm (actually the bus station, right off of i-95
where i gave him a couple of HIS paintings that were in the show, then i
decided to push on to athens, ga …. only about another 480 miles.
I reached athens about 5.30 am.
I ran about 62 to 72 mph indicated (depending on speed limits). I was
dragging a trailer the entire way and hauling about 60 gallons of WVO on
that since the car was full of art.
So yesterday i ran about 750 miles all at the speed limit on WVO dragging a
trailer.
The car used no oil and all i did on the 1200 mile round trip was check the
oil a few times
And i was paid a pile of $$ for the trip.
thanks,
xx rick
