oookay, I am home.
Averaged 71mph, and 22.9mpg. About 44 hours total travel time.
Pretty uneventful really.
No speeding tickets, although I got a talking to from a texas state trooper for 7mph over. The guy literally pulled a grass median u turn to yank me. Either way, I kept it to 10 over at most.

Quad,
So sorry for being late to the thread. For long road trips, I bring Rufus (Steve), a 997tt (Terry) and a black Ruf (Javier).
This just in case I completely lost you.

Wish I had 993 twin turbo buddies... :-( Just not enough around here...especially RUF versions. Only one I know of...
So if you were to change one to a RUF-BTR2, would you buy one, convert one with low meliage like mine or pick one that has been driven and has higher mileage?

Robert,
Ruf is no longer doing BTR-2 conversions, and they were always done to narrow-body, non-turbo donors. Your car can still be converted to a Turbo R. It can be done right down the street from you in Dallas. You shoul;d talk to those guys about your options. Kevin here in San Francisco recently converted his guards red PERFECT low mileage TT to a Turbo R, and he is still thrilled. Talk to him also.
