I did get it home. The last 20 miles on the back of a flat bed tow truck. Paul
Never a dull moment trying to drive a classic exotic across country.
I had a somewhat similar experience driving an 1982 Mondial from LA, CA to Raleigh, NC. I read many posts about doing a PPI before buying any...
Talking nicely to the car seems to work for me. That and driving it everyday. The 1991 was my DD for 15 years.
Well, the Mondial offers a truly GREAT driving experience, superb handling, wonderful sound. My daily driver on the other hand, a 2013 Jag XK,...

MondiNor, When I had an '82 it was my understanding, a very dangerous statement there, that the internals for a Pantera rack were the same. I...
My only experience with BHCC was selling to them. It was the most painless car sale I have ever experienced. Do they pay a reasonable amount...
Dave, Any chance things will slow up enough to allow you to continue the saga??? There really are a bunch of folks, including myself, that are...
Dave, As time allows, please continue the saga! Your compassion, willingness to help your fellow man and your terrific writing style have...
