Re: Preparing for Long Alfa Trip

[thunder@domain.elided]

Tie wraps, duct tape and basic tools.  Not because you might run across
McGeiver battling the forces of evil, but for those basic automotive fixes
(we used 6 tie-wraps in a loop as a fan belt to get a ferrari dino to the
next town).  don't forget a pocket knife, I've fixed some leaking hoses
just by cutting an inch off the end and putting it back (when they fail
near the clamp).  when i dropped a driveshaft in the middle of an
intersection (was pulling a boat), and it helped having some rope to make
a sling to carry it to the auto shop two blocks away (lucky me).  oh, and
don't forget a good book for your passenger.  a tow rope would be good
too.  jumper cables. a shirt and towel you don't mind getting dirty.  a
voltmeter.... and, oh.. wait... no room for the passenger now.

maybe just a cell phone and your AAA card... or should we make a list of
our phone numbers along your route?

Good luck with your trip,
