<VV> Whatd'yapack

[J R Read_HML]

Hi Bryan,

I don't have doubts about my Vairs, but I DO carry a "travel box" of goodies 
on longer trips.  I made a solo trip of about 3,600 miles on one occasion 
without incident.

Primarily, the box contains stuff that can be quickly fixed on the road and 
the local FLAPS may not have the part or may not be open.  There has been 
more than one occasion where my items ended up on another member's car due 
to a problem during a club outing.  What do you do?  Strand the guy or fix 
his car so the group can stay together?

Some of the items in the box are things that have broken in the past - so 
they are just there as an insurance policy.  A couple of things in that 
category would be the little 90 degree bend fuel line for the secondaries 
and a temp/pres switch - AND, of course, the proper tools to go with.  Along 
the tool line would be the "special" fan belt wrench.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
