Tomorrow, 8:00 AM Plymouth is leaving with my wife and me to Ulm, south GE.
Saturday we proceed through Austria into Italy : at Schenna/ Meran I booked a very beautiful,
quiet Oldtimer event I participatedonce before in 1998.
Weather forcast is not as convertible friendly as hoped. Anyhow, we will enjoy!
Ply has got a recondition since April, 2nd. and is in perfect status:
widely new electrical harness and fuses, 2nd generator 12 V, tachometer, new tires, brakes,
George Asche?s overdrive is working marvellously, I still have to understand all of its?s features.
I had 2 opportunities only to try it and with help of provisorial LED indications for every switch in this system (Solenoid, Pawl, Lockrail),
I?m now nearer to use it conveniently.
Made 84 mph with ease, with 3000 engine turns p m, still with accelerating potential uphill! GPS measured speed!
As brake, steering, frame and axle arrangements aren?t up to date, I choose a 3 lane stretch of Autobahn last Sunday morning:
no tarffic, it had space to slide left and right, but up to 84 mph it didn?t want to.
But I don?t want to need sudden braking at this speed.
Travelling speed is planned at 75 mph .
I don?t know if I can contact You from S?dtirol. My HTC smart phone isn?t really good for internetting. I usually fond a better Hotel computer, and if not...
Have a good Plymouth tinE
