I drove my 74 1.8 2500 miles from Augusta GA to Santa Monica CA and hadnt seen the car. But I did go through a check list with the seller to determine if the car would be able to handle the trip. He had recently gone through most of the car. Didnt have a single problem the entire drive other than some vapor lock in the desert.
I had extra fuses, ignition parts, clutch and accelerator cables, cv joints. Never used them. If you dont know how well the car has been maintained I would be worried. |

My last real vacation was in my 75 2.0L three years ago with my 8 year old grandson. We spent three weeks on the road with no destination in mind. Explored New Mexico, Arizona, southern Cal ( all the way to San Diego) and Vegas baby. 4403 miles, 134 galllons of gas. Only one break down. Points closed up in Tuscon. 5 minutes, a new set of points, and we were on our way. Sure wish I would known about you guys then.
Hey admin, what happend to the post on Joan's route? Might have been a big help to her. Good luck Joan, and may the road god's be with you |

QUOTE As for tools, or mechanical stuff, wouldn't know what to do with them. I can put oil and gas in and change a tire if I have to, but that's it. So if I have a problem, AAA will come and pick me up (been there, done that), leave the car and the manual with someone who hopefully knows something and come back and pick the car up later. Joan, Some basic parts (points, fan belt, rotor) even if you don't know how to use them, would still be good to carry. If you break down in BFE (been there) and get told "We don't stock none a dem for-en cityfolk car parts"... at least you have the basics to get fixed. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
