Advice on route from Maine border + any Caravan's to join?

[Redshft]

Well, things are still on track for me, and I'm planning on meeting up with TitaniumTT on CT on the way down Thursday morning. Anybody else along the Nova Scotia to CT route planning to go?

The FD fired up on the first crank on Monday night, but we've been struggling with the PowerFC since then. (First time I'd ever seen one) So if we can get the FC to co-operate in time for him to put a few miles on the car, he's in too. (Looks like the other FC won't be able to make it.) Anybody out there good at remotely troubleshooting a PowerFC?

Forgive me if some of this is repeat from the PM's but....
It depends on where you stay. If you get off 91 and hop on 84 and stay around Danbury, you wouldn't have to get up any earlier. We just wouldn't meet in Stamford, we would meet somewhere in Jersey or even better, I want to take a quick stop in PA at a friends shop. Quick cop of coffee, BS a little and get back on the rd. Anywhere along 84 is going to be cheaper than anywhere along 95 on the same basic longitude line.

Had to roll it in with an old set of 4 bolt hubs back on it (my 5 bolt conversion was lost in shipping) and vice grips clamping off the brake lines that didn't fit the old 4 bolt calipers.. actually used my drip trays that weekend.

Its getting frighteningly close right now. I have a basica interior but noting installed from the firewall forward. That I can take car of in about 5 hrs so I'm not concerend about that. What's bugging me is going to be the TC sensors in the rear, mounting the tranny (on todays list) and building the fuel cell. I'm not to concerned about my car, nothing short of satan himself risen up and snatching my soul and torching the car will keep me from getting her done, it's my partners car that I'm concerned about. We're REALLY behind on that.

Right now, baring a disaster (it is an FD afterall) we are 2 cars for sure, with I'd put it at 50% odds on adding a 3rd car (FC Turbo)
2 more want to come but one, his "+ guest" is a Bride's Maid that weekend and he can't skip it/go without her, and the other is literally in his final week of Dental School that week. After 7 years, he's not sure he can blow off the last week of Clinic, but he's trying.

Ouch, that's a bizarre set of circumstances that are keeping 2-3 from joinging.

OK, so we've got you (1) your friends FD (2) and the FC if she cooperates (3), right? Plus me, Alex and Scott on his bike, we're 5 cars and a bike strong. That's pretty cool actually. Should be a bitching drive.
