[Spridgets] Bugsy back on road

[Glen Byrns]

The turbo motor is dialed in and running great.  I took Bugsy for a 120 mile
twisty ride yesterday in the local mountains and it ran great.  I needed to
have a solid outing before deciding on taking Bugsy on vacation in the Sierra
next week as I try to do each year.
Suspension is nice and tight, the new steering tube felts have relaxed a bit
and now feel perfect. The newly repaired speedo drive tells me I got 24mpg.
Not great, but I was gassing it pretty good in the hills rather than driving
like a Prius owner.  Still going easy on the boost, but it would be nice to
keep a set of pistons long enough to pay off the credit card charge that paid
for them.

The new stereo is loud enough to be heard to 70mph, the I-pod hookup works
fine.  I dragged out the sewing machine last night and modified the tonneau
cover to fit around the roll bar.

Things are going so good, I'm starting to look critically at the paint and
imagining hundreds of critical lister eyes detecting every flaw as I pull up
in Missouri.
