I just finished reading the last installment of Dan Herrman's 40- State Capitol Tour story, published in three parts in Spitfire & GT6 Magazine. It must have been quite an adventure! 15,000 miles, 63 days, visiting and photographing all 48 continental US state capitol buildings. (See http://www.redeyewi.com/.)
It made me want to do it myself. I drove some of those roads back 1970, the summer after my college graduation. That trip was a 10,000 mile tour of the country from Virginia to California and back with my twin brother and two friends in a VW bus. Took a lot of similar pictures but we weren't interested in capitol buildings. A few things about Dan H's trip stuck me as curious, car-wise. He mentioned all the oil changes and break fluif checks and tire checks and plug swaps and carb mixture tweaking for elevation. But he never mentioned setting the valves or the ignition timing. O' course, if he had electronic ignition the timing wouldn't need checking, but the valves would. Also I wonder how good his seats were! 15,000 miles in my Spitfire seats would be a pain in the butt, literally. Damn, I wish I had the time and the money and the patience to do a trip like that again... Jim Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
