Joe,

Glad to know your trip is going well! Did you enjoy your visit to the Henry Ford Museum?

Becky spent Monday after the Carlisle meet in Gettysburg PA soaking up some Civil War history, then drove on down to my house in VA, arriving at approximately 1:00 a.m. She stayed with us Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, saw some of the local sights, and ate a little southern cooking. She headed out on I-81S/I-64W about noon today, starting her trek toward CA!

Norm,
Her plan was to drive for as long as she could stay awake and Ruby kept running! I'm pretty sure she keeps her cell phone off while she's traveling. Ruby seemed to be running just fine when she left here today so I'm just keeping good thoughts! Will let you know if/when I hear from her.

I hope Becky is doing ok. Hopefully she will update her status. I have made it to Lincoln Nebraska as of tonight. 13 hours, 775 miles from Detroit. Henry Ford museum is very cool, especially the F-150 Rouge plant tour. Hope to make Salt Lake by tomorrow, about 850 miles... Having the T-5 is a blessing. I cranked her up to 80mph from Omaha to Lincoln, no problems or hiccups so far.

Kim,

I haven't heard from her since she left yesterday. I'm clinging to the old adage that no news is good news! I'm fairly confident she would let someone know if she was having problems. If/when she calls, I will post.

Just a quick update! Becky called. She's is Arkansas and suffering a bit from the heat and humidity but overall she and Ruby are doing fine. She's pressing onward and hopes to be home in a couple of days!

glad to see Becky is doing ok. I made it to Salt Lake City from Lincoln NE, 14 hours about 850 miles I think. The car just has to hold up for one more long day tomorrow.

My Stampede is officially over!! Pulled into my driveway at 9:20pm PST. The car ran at 75-80mph the whole way from Carlisle. Gotta love the T-5!!
I'll be working on the videos from the webcast starting tomorrow. There's a lot of hours of footage to go thru, but I'll get it done as soon as possible....

Joe,

Glad to know you made it home safe and sound. It was great meeting you and seeing your gorgeous orange Pinto up close and personal! By the way, my wife loved the t-shirt!

GAWD! I love you guys!!!!!! Ruby and I are worn out but happy to be home. I miss the 'puter too because it was not always possible to post updates or visit with everyone online. Ruby idles roughly now but runs like a champ when she's in gear. We did a lot of steady driving in the heat, cold- even what I thought was a hurricane in Oklahoma- so she definitely gets the medal for courage, toughness, tenacity. I merely guided her. Thank you all for worrying, I'm sorry I caused any anxiety. I will treasure these friendships we made for the rest of my life. :smile:

Glad you had fun Phil, it was great to see you again! That Bobcat of yours is looking as good as ever.

Well, if I can recommend anything from this trip, the Petronix electronic ignition worked flawlessly. I ran a Powermaster, one wire, 150 amp alternator to make sure I had juice for the laptop, inverter and other electronics, and the T-5 swap is the way to go for high speed cruising. The Pinto actually handles very well, and is pretty stable at high speed. You can ask the guy in the AMG Mercedes that I chased down the western side of the Sierras!! He probably couldn't believe that he was seeing a Pinto in his rear view thru the curves!
