On the Road to Watkins Glen

Okay, so I am driving an MG and I am the only one headed to the Glen, but am traveling with several 356 buddies that are headed to the East Coast Holiday. Traveled from Atlanta to Lexington, VA, today. On to the Glen tomorrow.

Cool. Have a good time.

Quite a few construction delays on Route 81, at least there were two weeks ago.

Hey Jim. Not this time. I am meeting up with a bunch of current and former MG racers, so wanted to bring the A. With the 5-speed and new motor, i am not having trouble keeping up with traffic.
