[s-cars] Road trip preparations.....

[Steve Mills]

Jim-

Tim Maskus lives in the UP and his immaculate UrQ/A2 replica is well worth
a visit. My family and I stopped by while doing our Great Lakes tour (saw
and got at least a toe into all 5) a couple years ago. I'd recommend
swinging by Chicago for at least a visit and seeing if you can link up with
Scott Justusson- we had dinner with him at Geno's East which had the
unfortunate side-effect of making any other sausage pizza pale by
comparison for my son.

Since it's summer, I'd also swap out the plastic cooling bits if you
haven't- easy job (when not leaking on the side of the road with the
coolant boiling) and well worth if for peace of mind on that long a trip.

Have a great time and report back!

Steve
