<VV> Grand Day Out.

[Padgett]

Just got back from the Suncoast Corvair club picnic and had a great time. 
This is the time of year we put up with summer for - perfect top down and 
lots of sunblock weather. Is also great being inside a two hour drive 
of  five different Corvair clubs (six if count SECC).

Was something for everyone in the door prizes and the best which only 
people who drove a Corvair were eligible was a sizable gift certificate 
from Gene Wolf. Of the food, restraint was necessary as it was all 
excellent and in great amounts.

Met the GO Vairs at the Lakeland rest stop and we corvaned from there.

Was a touch over 200 miles round trip and other than a cylinder or two 
going away during an extended idle (shifted to neutral at stop lights) the 
110/PG ran perfectly, effortlessly staying with the left lane traffic on 
I-4 when not in group. Dead smooth even at those speeds. Recorded 21.5 mpg 
for the trip mostly above 3000 rpm despite 52 jets & about 30 miles of city 
driving. 215x65x15s on back may be helping but may try 225x70x15s next. 
Know a 3.27 would be better than the 3.55 but is easy to change tires.
