Reply to "Third Official Canadian Pantera Road Trip"

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

I left Ottawa at 9 am and met David at the Orange Julep at 11 and after a quick pit-stop, we headed off to meet Ross and Mary who were visiting relatives in a nearby(?) town.

Thanks to the Montreal traffic and road construction season (all year long minus winter), we needed to haul a** to keep on-schedule and arrive at 1 pm. I had a harder time keeping up with David's 500plus HP than I thought I would, plus, I always get a bit nervous driving at 100mph in a place where they can throw me in jail and I won't understand what they're saying to me (French)!

We spent a couple of hours trading tips and stories with Ross before heading back into the Montreal rush hour. I finally made it home around 6:30, making this day the longest Pantera driving adventure I've had so far (7+ hrs of driving). The car ran great with no troubles at all. I now know that my car can spend and hour running at an average of 10 miles an hour and not blow up.
