traveling tips
Here's a few I've learned/used on many trips in small streetrod coupes and on motorcycles:
1.The bra is a must - contrary to popular belief, a good (Porsche) bra over a properly cleaned and waxed frontend will keep your car in good shape. One key here is to take it off after/if you get in rain and let it dry. Clean its insides and rewax the car before putting it back on - you get the idea...
2. If you must take clean-up supplies (and you must), transfer your regular suppllies to small bottles and store them in a 1 gallon plastic pale.
3. RainX
4. Roll your clothes - you can get many times the amount of clothing in a case or bag by rolling them tightly. Stuff socks into shoes, etc.
5. Put a little deodorant on your upper/inner thighs - it'll keep the sweat to a minimum and prevent gaulding
6. A list of Porsche dealers along the way, include ph#s and addresses
7. A good road atlas
8. A pair of coveralls and work gloves
9. Parts/pieces/etc - 1 each roll of electric and duct tape; a couple of spare bulbs; 2-3 feet of 16 ga strand wire; flashlight; pen/pencil and paper; a disposable camera (accident documentation); 1 each qt of oil, trans fluid, anti-freeze; garbage bag
10. an iron if you aren't staying in places that supply one (remember all the rolled up clothes)
11. your own pillow and blanket (motel stuff is really nasty) Buy those bags that allow all the excess air to be pushed out of - you can shrink these things to incredibly small packages.
12. all the stuff already mentioned
Top down, sunscreen on, tunes cranked.... hit it...fun meter pegged!!
