We may go.... bringing the 19k mile Sprite racecar on a trailer.
(Only reason I won't drive it is the original Michelin X bias ply tires it
raced on are still on it....)

Subject: Another car show thread: long-ish trip prep
Hey gang. Thinking on taking the Sprite up to Iola WI for a huge car show
this
coming weekend, there was an earlier post or thread about this. So far so
good
on the driveability of the Sprite. Just a few problems, but nothing I'd
consider serious.
So, this trip to Iola, from here it's about 130 or so miles one way. The
round
trip will probably about double what I have on the car so far.
Just wanted any opinions as far as what I should be looking at specifically
on
the car before I go, other than the things you'd normally look at like the
fluids and tires. And anything I could bring along to help in a pinch? I'm
planning on of course basic hand tools, oil, gallon of water and maybe even
some gasoline. It's hard to predict what might be needed I know, sure enough
the one "thing" laying on or under the workbench is what I'll need.
Dan
