Series without Overdrives.....

[greasyhandsagain]

Google "John Coffer". Hes a good friend of mine who lives essentially a 19th century lifestyle on a small farm in the NY Fingerlakes. He has driven an oxen team from idaho to NY state, and has travelled across the country horsedrawn. Just recently, he bought a TT truck (25 mph top end).

Like all elements of the past....some echos remain.

Long trips, long legs

I read posts like these and get all excited about taking a long trip in my Series IIA, into which I have installed a RoverDrive, and it is in wonderfully original condition, a 2.6L 109, no rust, good tires, etc. etc. and then I remember how little room there is in the drivers seat for someone slightly over 6'5". Nevermind my age, are there any of you long trip drivers who are about as tall as I am? I have the earplugs. but I cannot imagine sitting with knees up in the air, and my right foot cocked back at such a steep angle on the accelerator for more than an hour or so.

So I guess, I will just dream on, or sell it and resign myself to driving something far less unique, but much more accommodating to the size of my frame.
