True cal-lookers are built to drive
pre-cal:
How many of you will be driving your lookers to the European Bug-In? Personally I think any use of a trailer is a no-no for a street car. Gassers are in a whole different catagory. They were built for pure dragrace. Many of the cal-lookers were pretty much used as everyday transport, before heading to the strip on the weekends.
Who will be arriving in the true cal-look spirit, driving all the way?;)
ESH:
I'll probably pootle down in the skip. :)
Gregor/DFL:
Iīll go there on my own 4 wheels-something like 600 kilometers to drive, mainly on "German Autobahn". Some sections are not speed-limited, so when you drive at an average of maybe 120 kph, itīs not a relaxing cruise as you also have to be aware of cars hitting the left lane with a minimum of 200 kph plus...
Diederick/DVK:
i can imagine that can be scary gregor! ;D
i don't have a big engine yet, but i hate situations on the motorway where everyone suddenly brakes back to 80-85 kmh (50-55mph) and then i can't shift back yet to 3rd and everyone's racing past again while accelerating :-\
btw, perhaps it's off-topic, but to the guys with big displacement engines... at what speed can you cruise? 140 kmh (85-90 mph)?

You get all due credit for living the cal look life pre-cal... but I'm not sure the Orange County boys would pop over to the drag strip every weekend, if it was in AMARILLO TEXAS?? From my home and down to Bug In its a cool 1080 miles one way... Somehow 20 hours pluss @ 4000 rpm doesen't scream "cal look" to me... sounds more like wasted engine life.
