Drive time on a (partly) sunny day

With my power drain problem solved and the car back together, it was finally time to drive! I put the interior back together and hopefully I don't need to take it apart again for a while. I have a Viper 211HV keyless entry system on order, but I can install it from the fuse panel access. My ignition-off power usage is just above 19mA and even with the addition of the keyless entry, I should still be well below my target of less then 50mA.

We've had some nice weather lately (better than the heat wave in the rest of the country) and this time TK went with me to E@RTC. Attendance was a little low when we got there, but the parking lots filled in as the morning went on. My buddy SL showed up as well. He's on the hunt for a 360 Modena so he's been out to quite a few of these gatherings to check out the cars.



As I looked around the lot, I saw something I'd never seen before. Not one, but two Lamborghini LM002 off road vehicles. Lambo made these between 1986 and 1993. Originally developed to try and sell to the military, the LM002 had the same V-12 as the Lamborghini Countach. Neither TK or SL knew what I was talking about when I said I wanted to go check out the Lamborghinis in the corner. SL saw them but thought they were Hummers. I'd heard of and seen photos of the LM002 before, but had never seen one in person. Not that I'd ever own one or even want one, but it's still a pretty cool vehicle.



One thing that does need attention is I think I need to fiddle with my carburetors again. The mixture seems really rich so I think I'll lean out the idle a little to see how it goes. Later, that is, when I feel like struggling with removing the air cleaner.
