Go for it Phil! I routinely drive my TR6 from Detroit, MI to
Philadelphia, PA (parents live in MI, me in PA). The car runs fine and
makes it with no trouble. These cars aren't fragile little museum
vehicles, they are meant to be driven! I pulled my car out of 9 months
of storage in MI this past Memorial Day weekend, freshened her up in a
weekend, and drove her back to Philly. No problems! Just remember to
pack your tools in the trunk, just in case...
