[Roadsters] Mitty Bad News

[Matthew A. Smith]

Hi All,

Bad news from North Georgia/East Tennessee. I was on my way VERY early this
morning. I had meant to leave yesterday but had electrical problems with the
car. I worked on it all day yesterday. Thought I had it all figured out by
11:00 last night. Leaving around 5:00 this morning; I had just crossed from
TN to GA. My Volt Meter decided to peg to the right. With the car charging
at 18 volts, I decided to come home. I disconnected the alternator and drove
home on battery. I barely made it since it was dark and I had the lights on.
When I pulled in to my parking space, my battery was at about 9 volts. And
it's raining. Who needs a drink?

I'm very disappointed since I've been planning this trip for 2 years. 

 

One VERY sad boy in Chattanooga,

Matt
