Got rear ended in Port Richey florida as a way to treat myself for studying. Instead got punchbuggied. Thankfully to the amazing community my car is running but still requires a lot of work. Fingers crossed my insurance covers the parts. I got the parts myself and did most of the work with the help of so many others. |

Hi all I am back on the grid once again. It is great to be back. I am driving through Florida from Tampa to Miami and then back on home to Vancouver Canada. If any of you are available to meet for a beverage let me know. I want to connect with as many vdubbers along the way.
Cheers,
Ant & Bugsy |

I'm in Ridgefield Washington. Most likely pass by me in your way home.
We're about 5 minutes off I-5 exit 14 have a garage and some tools if you need any help on the way home. _________________ If a car travels the speed of light, would the headlights work? |

I would skip the I-5 if you're still coming north through WA. 101 is more interesting, even this far north. Don't miss "craters of the moon" and/or "glacier NP" If you do montana/Idaho |

|

I am going from elevation points of 900ft to 4,000 ft.
My timing is set but in terms of elevation and playing with the fuel and air mixture do I just go by ear? |
