Correctamundo!!  Big props to ScottP here, too... I had Scott behind me for much of the cruise and his car sounded awesome.  Turns out there's some new parts under the decklid... the 2180 spun a rod, was yanked and a fresh 2332 stuffed in it's place.  It never missed a beat the whole trip. 8) 8) 8)

Scott's car has the certain stance that looks FAST just sitting there. Love the color too. Reminds me of Kaopectate. Nice to see a clean & fast KG out on the scene.

Holy crap! Do you still do burnouts in the rain over there? I didn't know IDAs worked in pouring rain. Doesn't that void their 1968 warranty?

3200rpm in fifth... About 68mph, give or take. Just checking the windshield wipers worked, officer...

Thanks Tim,

I had a good time, but I was a little tense driving a motor with only 40 miles on it! I'm sure Casey had a blast too!

Hey, come on Scott! I set off on the 620 mile round trip to European Bug-In with SEVEN miles on the clock! Mind you, I did listen to every little noise and start saying a few Hail Marys... ;)

Ah, come on you light-weights. Here is an actual photo taken during our trip to EBI#3! We didn't mess around with no stickin' speed laws...

Wow,
What are the odds of passing the same van on both trips !
 ;D
P.S. I guess we now know what caused that noise.

I was worried about having seven or eight Panzer members standing around my broken car!
 I guess I would have had to flog the engine builder if that had happened.

Steve, I understand you haven't had much of a chance to drive your '67 really fast (like I should talk...), but at 7800 rpm in high gear, your speedo actually goes all the way around and comes back on the far side. Yes, it might look like we're only going 65mph, but in reality, we're going much, much faster.  ;D
