I thought I'd start a thread on my latest adventures with the 122. After Rhys got the carbs sorted, I had to make a quick trip (120 mies one way) in the pouring rain to pick up my front bumper from the chrome plater. Got home at around midnight, then up early the next day for a quick oil change and jet off out the door to drive almost 800 miles to get to the IPD Garage Sale. Met a few BB people at the show - tuned the 122 parked beside me - great time. The car made it all the way without a hitch (well, the angle drive broke and the temp switch for the e-fan died) - but aside from that everything was fine.

The HIF's are great (need to recurve the distributor) - over the total trip, I'm averaging 31 US MPG (that's 35 MPG of the Queen's gallons - for the Canadians, I got 8L/100KM). Spectacular for a performance car with gobs of power.

Here she is:

Yesterday, we tooled around the Oregon Coast in the 122 - great time and we got to do what I've wanted to do since I saw Dale's photo's of the 960 on the beach...we drove the 122 on the beach! First attempt had us stuck and we had to unload the car and drive out. We then spotted Haystack rock (don't recall the beach name) from the highway and pulled a U-turn and went back.

The day had changed from sunny to overcast and the pictures are (I think) stunning.

Thanks for all the help getting me here guys.
