Headed to the Deep South in the Morning

Well, heading out to Memphis then to the MS Coast from North Virginia in the am. Dropping the SDL off at Deep Fried Rides in Memphis for the VO Conversion then heading to the MS Coast on Sunday. Checked everything I could on the car and she seems ready to go. Drove it to PA and back this week and it cruises really well. Keep your eyes out for a brown SDL hurtling down the highway with a guy with a smile behind the wheel and a woman with a panicked look on her face in the passenger seat.

Made it as far as Knoxville, TN. One hell of a snowstorm through most of VA. I 81 was closed because of a bad wreck. Had two spin out in front of me and we almost bought the farm. Had to take back roads at 25mph for 100 miles. Old girl ran fine and the wife did ok to once I got the vodka in her and she passed out. Heading on to Memphis in the AM!

Update: Made it to Deep Fried Rides in Memphis around 10am this morning. Dropped the car off and was very happy with their knowledge. They said it should be ready late tonight or first think in the morning. I should be there in time!

Just got the car back and took it on it`s maiden voyage with WVO. Runs really well and I`m very impressed with the installation! See you guys in Gulfport at 2pm tomorrow. I`m now beat as hell and turning in.
