30 years!

I thought you were referring to the homemade winnebago!

(BTW, how's the thing holding up to the weight/torque/vibration, etc. from the "B"?)

You got a great sense of humor

Hey Rich,

I never thought of that. Thirty years this year! Cool, I have to think up something to post about comparisons.



As far as how it's working, It's a peach, the engine is amazing. Havn't broken the frame yet Front end needs a spring upgrade and new ball joints. One problem is it has really taken the fun out of traveling with my camping buddies, they can't keep up and I have to constantly pull over and wait. It seems like them guys are always stoping for fuel too. One of the many nice things about the power is no more getting a run at the hills, just let the cruise control handle it. I't got a few squeaks and rattles though, not from the mighty C but from three trips from Seattle to Cabo San Lucas and back. If you read that guys article in the TDR mag you'll know what I mean.

PS; Thanks Bob but I can't take credit for that, someone sent it to me in an e-mail.
