RE <VV> loong trips

[J R Read_HML]

I went to Memphis and back last weekend.  If I recall, the total distance 
including local mileage around Memphis was around 1,200 miles.  Only problem 
I had was a fuel leak where the (it is a 140) short 90 degree bend line 
meets the left primary carb.  This has happened before, so I (of course) had 
the correct part with me and fixed it in a matter of minutes in the parking 
lot of the motel where I was staying.  Even found a shady tree to work 
under.

Don't be afraid to drive your car.  Just carry along your most likely to 
need "insurance" (parts and tools).  What is the WORST that could happen? 
You put it on a flatbed and send it home and complete your trip in a rental 
car.  If you have AAA+ and less than 100 miles away, the towing is already 
covered.

Actually, that same car has been to Florida and back without any sort of 
difficulty.  If I started counting up states that I've driven it in, it 
would probably be around 30 or so.  Oh, it has also been in Canada (near 
Buffalo).

BTW, I live near Chicago, Illinois.
