Gary, Be sure to take along a roll of wire, and maybe some hose clamps.
Story: In the middle of nowhere, Utah. The tail pipe falls off so I'm
under the rear end, its July, hot as h*ll, and my 13 yr old cousin is with
me on a journey from Calif to Colo. The tail pipe is also hot, a blanket
to hold it up, screw driver and the always taken extra hose clamp, and we
are back on the road again. This is on the way back after I blew the head
gasket in Vegas. Good luck and have fun. Jane

Subject: road trip stories
Since we are talking about British Car Week and getting our cars on the
road
more; and I would like to take a several thousand mile trip in one this
summer; I thought it would be interesting to hear horror stories of
breakdowns on the road in an LBC. You know, the ones where it's midnight,
in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a storm..........
These stories will either get me out of the mood or generate the juices to
really give it a try! Also, suggestions on the best tools to take in the
littlest amount of space would be good. Do I need more than duct tape and
a
vice grips!!??
