Monterey R Gruppe - the drive up

Jack Olsen · 05-01-2003, 08:12 PM

Here are some quick (and small) images from the drive up from Los Angeles to Monterey. There were about a dozen early cars for the caravan north, including everything from a 74 2.7 Euro MFI Carrers (WolfTurbo's) to Real S's, clever clones, and (of course) BB2.

But first, I had to finish up the interior carpet and dash leather for the car.

Then, the drive:

Jack...How do you drive without a steering wheel? LOL
I thought I was nutty...(once moved a car about 100 feet using a pair of vice-grips for steering) but you beat me hands down.
Also...glad to finally see the elec box mounted.

You ever heard someone say that a car handles so well that you just have to think it into the next lane? I suppose this applies to BB2.

I was lucky and got a quick look at the caravan as they came through my area. It was a great break to my morning. All the cars sounded and looked great.

Actually, when a car's suspension is set up for track work, (tons of neg. camber, etc.), they tend to change lanes on the highway w/o even thinking it first! It is good to understand this, depending on where your car is going to spend most of its time, (street or track). Can't speak for the street manners of Jack's car, however, I've never been in it.
