Event Coverage The Rambler Adventure-Up The River

I would tell you to have fun, but you're already on top of that. Thanks for the ride-along. I always enjoy your shenanigans.

 

We had a chevy vega that used oil like that. 18 qts from Denver to Phoenix in 1975. Good luck !

 

thanks Jim we needed this

 

Jim, you are just having waaaaaay too much fun! I sure am glad you have a 10K rpm tach for that mighty Nash six!

 

I love this stuff.

In all reality, you take an old car, check compression and make sure it's enough. Give it reliable fuel and spark delivery, and its going to run and be reliable. Sure it may leak and smoke a bit, but overall, it's going to be a decent runner.

Threads like this give hope to the guys who buy the non-running project off of FB marketplace that with some basic work and minimal financial outlay, they can have a car that is safe and reliable to enjoy. Have a great trip man, keep us posted

 

Are you doing this LeMons Rally without a co-pilot this year?

Do you know how many miles you will be driving? HRP

 

Nerd alert..

 

Appreciate you keeping the flying insect population down in California.

Look for you on the coast.

 

Just make sure that "nerd boy" doesn't get an Atomic Wedgie...and then get yourself stuffed in a locker

 

You didn't even wipe the dust off the dash, now that's what I call only doing what needs to be done! Gonna follow along - looks like fun.

 

I'm driving by myself this time. I'm in California now.

This just popped up

 

Looks like all modern stuff except for you
may all roads you travel be down hill....

 

Way to go Jim, show the other guys you ain't scared!, your Rambler is is 62 years old and that's old enough to smoke the other guys out!

Good luck my friend, we are ALL pulling for you! HRP

 

...and maybe on the return trip, detour up to Bonneville, and see what she will REALLY do

 

@Moriarity may have some of this in his collection. Could save some money.

 

MIKEEE LIKES IT!!

I like your speakers in the dash. Or should I say on the dash. Jim, you seem to have the most fun of anyone here on the Hamb with all these Lemons rallies. If I was not so far away I would love to be your co-pilot. Brian

 

Good luck sir. You make us all proud.

 

Hell Jim, I'm jealous of all the fun you have with all of your car adventures!

 

I made it to SLO. The oil consumption seems to be getting better, 300 miles on the last quart. Now to go for a walk and get some sleep.

 

Jim, enjoy yourself as we are enjoying it with you.

 

That ride is just too cool!

 

I didn't know you were a somnambulist. Stay off the dark streets.

 

Go for the Gold and the Glory.
We're all watchin

 

Too good. Can't wait to see your surprise costume. Nothing else like it on the HAMB, very entertaining!

 

I had a friend who towed cars for a living. All of his personal cars were straight from the junk yard. He would do a "no parts" tune up. Clean the points and plugs, put them back in. If he needed a wire, he had a selection taken from junkers. He was a firm believer in fresh gas filters. He would drive those relics to out of state stock car races in a flash. I never recall him having an issue on the road. I was along for some of those trips.

 

This whole deal is motivating me to get my new Buick going and take some cross county trip as the shakedown run.
