Thumbs up Ole '76 800 miles of excitement

Glad to hear about the NV trips enjoyed by all. Thought I'd share my recent trip. I travelled from Edmonton, AB to Saskatoon, SK and then on to Prince Albert, SK with return last week. Was a total of some 800 miles counting local travel.

I took the 450 to friends, acquaintences, idle passerby's, really anyone that would take a peak.

The car drove remarkably well. I had a brief inspection done prior to leaving but was really a "I believe in you, if you believe in me" trip. Average 21-22 mpg at 75 mph and would have done better but my smile was probably dragging on the aerodynamics.

Well, I don't want to use more than my fair share of bandwidth.

I have developed some small problems, but I will post for help later. For now, I'm just smilin!

Best wishes to all

Mike
