Impressed
Gotta say I am impressed with this little 951. Just got her back from a head gasket job last week and took a nice ride to Harriman State park in NY, about 150 mile round trip mostly on interstates.
I don't know many cars out there that are just as happy cruising about 40mph on a rural back road in 5th gear as they are at 150mph. So effortless to go from 80 to 100 with just a slight push on the pedal. Averaging between 80-100 with a few spurts higher and it still got 25.3mpg round trip. And to think I was gonna get rid of this little demon. Long live the 951! Off to Pocono for the drive your own car on wednesday...woohoo! BTW, what oil do the gurus here recommend? Joe

The metro crowd did a fun run through Harimann i think two years ago, we really woke that place up. Everyone walking the trails and camping just turned around and looked at all of us flying through.

Turbo cruising
I know the feeling..............Mine had the head gasket this spring also and this is the first long shake down trip to see how it all works. I headed up north for some fishing this weekend. Cruise at any speed and just throttle up when you want to go faster. 240 miles up here and only 7.7 gallons to top off the tank. That's on two and four lanes running 5 mph over the posted 65 mph limit. No freeway with all the small towns in between and some spirited acceleration when needed. Every time I take the car up north it is just so much fun....just need to watch out for the deer up here. Made a 30 mile round trip to town for the essentials for proper martini's and had to stop twice for deer on the road and wait for them to decide which way to go. This is in daytime at 11:00 am. Love those powerful breaks.....Thanks, UncleRay
