One lap of New York State

["Peter Webb" <Spud@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all that sent phone numbers and offers for help
on my trip to Western New York this week.

The Milano was wonderful.  Cruised at about 75-80 the
whole way.  Only one snag, a flat tire on the way home. I 
have some front-end shimmy from bad castor bushings.  The long 
distance wore the inner edge of the tire and caused it to blow
out.  No harm done.  I keep the floor jack and assorted brute-
force tools.  A 5 min delay, and I was off.  It's scary as 
hell changing a tire on a busy freeway.  1000 miles in 4 days.
3 tanks of gas, a quart of oil, and a tire.  Not bad for a 
10 year old neglected $900 beater.

Again, a sincere thanks to all offering help.  As much as I
would have liked to meet you, I'm glad I didn't have to take
you up on your kind offers.

Peter
