There will be a Cross-CountryTravel With TBRRD thread in the later fall. This car talks to me so hard, what a sweetheart!
Please Portlanders, if you need some appointments in the fall, let me know. I will need to finance fuel and road expenses and many repairs. Oregon72, again, thank-you for keeping the communication channels open.

Take some glamour shots of the Ruptured Duck and post them up here. I want to see some pin up/nose art pictures of that Bus.

Meanwhile I need options for my return trip to Portland tentatively scheduled for last few days in September.
A) Do I request that Portland area members put together a travelling tool assortment so I can fly unencumbered from Atlanta? I also need at a minimum a spare ready-to-install single port head.
B) Do I mail my tools to pj's CandyAppleRed Volkswagen Palace in a shipment of 8 or so boxes? If I do appointments in Portland area around that time, it would be better that I ship all of the contents of the BobD to pj'sCARVP, because a man without his tools is lost.

Re: This Will Not Do
I have two single port heads that you can have if it helps the cause. I don't know which is better, and either of them should be completely gone through but the offer is on the table.

Re: This Will Not Do
Please provide us a list of said tools so we can assess our supplies... You may wish to plan on packing some of the specialty tools in your suitcase.Amskeptic wrote:

(check into the shipping possibility, Look at the flat rate boxes. The "if it fit's it ships" boxes are a good deal for heavy items.)
So it all started when I wanted to get better gas mileage....

Re: This Will Not Do
I thought about going with Colin on the trip but I can certainly relay also. I have never been to Memphis.

I would bet that for less than $1000 you could have the RD shipped from Portland to Atlanta.
