Default Indy to NoVa drive tomorrow - Keep a lookout! Thursday 09/01/05 *HOME!*

That's right, I am going to pick up my 87 944 Nile Green Metalic LY6Y - Yes, this one is painted.. Painted phonedials.

It's about a 600 mile drive. Major freeways are listed below:
I - 65 S
I -70 E towards Columbus (292 miles)
I - 470 E toward Bellaire PA
I - 70 E
I - 79 S
I - 68 E toward cumberland MD (112 miles)
Home stretch is about 100 miles of misc freeways.

I have a few people's #'s but in case I run into problems anyone willing to volunteer their contact info? Please Feel free to PM me.

Even if I don't have problems please look for me. I will be driving from about noon till about 10pm is my guess. Maybe less, all depends.



Thanks!!

Michael

Im outside DC if ya need anything. You would probably be 90% done with this trip by the time you came down this way though! And if ya made it this far you probably don't need much else!

That is a pretty wild color though! I like it. I like the painted wheels too.

Drop me a PM if there is anything though you can foresee. Otherwise, congrats on the car!

So you picked it up already? Enjoy the drive home! Here are a couple of shots I took when I stopped by to look at it.

Thanks Mike, I am going to give it a run for it and hope that the clutch holds out. Getting 50/50 odds from people I have talked to.

Thanks for the pics. Much better than the ones I have.

Looking at a map these figures are only rough. There is no way that some of these distances are possible but none the less they should give an idea.

12pm Indy
1pm Richmond
2pm Dayton
3pm Columbus
4pm Zanesville
5pm Wheeling
6pm Washington PE
7pm Morgantown WV
8pm Cumberland MD
9pm Hagerstown MD
10pm Rockville MD
11pm Home!!

What's your route?

We lived in Va Beach and drove 64. Since you are farther north, are your using 70 E to 95?
