Well, here is our dilemma.  We are going to PA to look at a 78 spitfire to 
purchase, but the only time we can get there in the next few months is next 
week..Now, this cas has had an off the frame restoration, complete with 
sandblasting, priming, and new paint.  There is no rust.  It has been driven 
less than 1000 miles since restoration. However, if it snowy when we get 
there, we probably won't be able to or want to drive around in the snow and 
salt.  Therefore, we would have to return in the spring, probably not until 
may, for test driving.  By then, of course, it will probably be gone.  So - 
should we be buying a car without a complete test drive?  I know the complete 
history of this car, and its really a good one, but its 11 hours away for us.

Any thoughts?
John
