Back home from VTR and boy, what a trip.  10 days, 9 states, 2 provinces,
2 countries and one VTR convention with 300+ cars!  The odometer 
accumulated 4,122 miles from the time we left home till the time we 
returned.  and with a 5% error in the odometer that calculates to 
an actual milage of 3,925 miles.  All that distance on 155.5 gallons (US) 
yeilds 25.24 MPG (US).  Total maintenance: two quarts of oil.  For 
you blokes in the UK that is the equivelent of 5 trips from London 
to Edinburg.  And Back again!

Now Dave Terrick is saying: "Hey!  If you can drive all that way to 
Maine, including going to New, by golly, Brunswick,  Why don't you 
come up to one of our meets at T'under bay, Eh?"

To which I reply: "Why not?  I still got 92$ (Cdn) left over from this 
trip and I can't spend it here."  Just say when and I'll budget 
some of my precious vacation time (holiday leave).

Well, 4000 miles in a rag-top car with no AC and a noisy muffler
and the car has held up better than I did.  I'm beat.  

Bye for now

Dave Massey

P.S. Ran out of money just as I got home.  Is this a perfect vacation 
(holiday) or what?
