Driving Stories 81 Spider FI

Post by tcrooks »

I drove my 81 Spider 1527 miles non-stop Houston TX to Stafford VA in 27 hours. Shortly thereafter, drove it from Leesburg VA to San Francisco. It goes on and on. How about others?

My '79 X1/9, Boston to Vail, alone and mostly nonstop, about 48 hours, nearly killed me! LOL, but we were young back then.

It takes youth. I drove two consecutive 1200 mile days OK:OR once, but it takes everything you have, and very dangerous (also a youth thing).
