Hope Jim has a safe and fun trip! It'll be interesting to see the car at one of the events.

I'm in Provo, UT. I imagine he'll pass through on his way to pick up I-80 to Reno. I can put him up for a night or introduce him to the lovely Colleen's cooking! Or direct him to Motorsport if he has mechanical needs.

I wish I was doing it, but my Uncle George wants some more money, so I must keep working.

I'll be taking some pictures of course.

Here's some pictures. Jim just rolled out on his way west. His new 928 is beautiful, runs like a champ and started on the first key turn after sitting all night in freezing weather outside.

Diane and I enjoyed his visit and conversation! Lots in common aside from 928's -- teenagers, US Army service, etc.

Poor guy. Forcing him to hang out in a hot tub in the winter while motoring cross country in a 928.

Yeah, yeah, yeah and drink beer and wine and grill steaks and talk about 928's, the Army and our respective teenagers ... I mean it is a tough job but someone has got to do it!

Cheers,

Dave

He is following the I-40 route .. I think his next stop will be in OK or TX .... let's see, 10 hours at 80mph ... 800 miles by tonight.

Cheers,

Dave

Unfortunately I live way up in the "boonies" so I miss out on the face to face camaraderie but I really enjoy reading about it in threads like these. Great job everyone and a "way to go" to Dave for taking care of Jim as he ventures across your great Country.
Some day I have to get down there and meet some of you friendly Rennlisters that I keep reading about.
