Bragging on a 912
I don't know if this is the place but I couldn't find a better one to brag on an old car.
I have a 1967 912 and just completed a trip from Canada to San Diego and back in the last few weeks with my wife with me on the return trip. I did send out a post because of generator problems but let me tell you, other than those annoying "small" electrical problems I see no reason to not do long road trips. I stayed off of the freeways except for going from Grants Pass to Olympia. It cruised along nicely at about 70 MPH. That's true MPH by my GPS. The speedo of course showed 80 MPH.
The motor, tranny, clutch, brakes and everything else mechanical worked great and I wouldn't hesitate to do the trip again next week. The whole trip used about 1 quart of oil which seemed fine to me.
So, get those cars out on the road if you haven't.
