Congrats. It's a good car. Very fun to drive. In decent shape and doesn't seem to have treated any of the owners poorly. Glad to see it's moving on to another GRM home.
In reply to nocones :
Well.... i was going to name it justin after my wifes deceased cousin who inspired me to get off my duff and buy it.
Seems like "the town bike" is more appropriate now.
Just for the record, that's not a Mini 
In reply to BradLTL :
It's a small fly and drive as it's only a 5 hour drive back..

5th - I got it from Gary Patrick. I believe he’s GaryP on here, though I’ve not seen him post forever.
Oh, and this car is literally becoming “the” Answer.
In reply to Pete Gossett :
It really is the town bike.

FBC, I am probably not alone in being happy to see you putting words into action. I’m sorry about the motivating factor, but looking forward to following along just the same. “The town bike” is a great name for this.
Awesome!
Had to explain into "the town bike" to my wife this morning. Which degraded into telling yo momma jokes. Best breakfast this week.
The thread title is misleading. I expected crackwhore stories and your momma jokes.
Congrats on what is hopefully a non-adventure!
So are we getting together for dinner or something or is this a mad dash?
In reply to Robbie :
Mad dash this time but I'll be back to visit the wife's parents soon.
Looks like today's the day....
Has the adventure begun yet?
I really expected to see FBC passed out in the seat of one of these:
In reply to SVreX :
One thing’s for sure: FBC does not skip leg day!
at airport waiting for my flight. ill post pictures after the journey is done.
I wanted to do an easier drive back but its going to be mostly at night today. I’ve got a busy schedule so does mtn So hard to get things to line up So I’ll make it work
But I brought a roll of this. Rescue Tape https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AEBKYPG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_SnR7CbNEQQB8A
We are golden.
In reply to Fueled by Caffeine :
How about a towel?
Brought one of those as well. And some rubber gloves. Surprised I got through security without extra scrutiny.
Let's see.
Latex gloves
Towel
Roll of tape
One way ticket?
Dont EVER forget your towel. First rule of hitchhiking the galaxy.
Balls. Car just threw the crank pulley. On 90 just past 90 94 split in Wisconsin. Water pump stopped turning. A little smoke out of the over flow hopefully I didn’t hurt it.
Boo, Hiss. Sorry to hear that. I'd come help if I wasn't 1000 miles away.
