as my handle suggests, i came from the britcar world and wandered into teener-land. my daily driver is a '72 MGB GT and while i enjoy driving her anywhere, she has the factory-option overdrive, and cruises happily at 75 on the interstate, i would think that the teener--15 years newer technology, fuel injection, dealer a/c, true 5 speed--would be a better long-distance-cruiser. i've had my teener a couple years but haven't gotten 'round to fixing her up. i'm planning to start this winter. so, tell me how good my teener will be at long distances and care-free interstate travel....

I have a stock 73 1.7. I have driven it cross country three times. Only problem was one vapor lock in Arizona.
