Official Festiva Madness VI Meet Thread Oct. 6, 2012

[Pu241]

8 hrs from destin fl?
i just got it running ok and have been trying to drive it a little every day.
it doesn't drive so good in the rain and does the florida crew like driving 50 mph all the way there.
it takes me 7 hrs with the festiva to get to jacksonville, fl, alone.to meet up with florida crew.

I stand corrected, Destin, FL is farther out than I thought.
But nearly 13 hrs seems a bit long too.
I got 11:39 when I checked Yahoo maps.

What keeps you at 50 MPH?
Admittedly, on my own, I cruise at 60 MPH for MPG purposes.

Florida crew probably cruises at near 75 MPH when they don't have to stop every 150 miles for someone to refuel.

Knowing that bunch, they probably cruise around 211mph :p

I haven't got it over 55 mph yet. All city driving.

Matt if you can make it to Jacksonville, I will make sure you make it to NC.

We cruise at 70-75, and yes some of the cars in our convoy do not get 40 mpg anymore.

Id like to work on your car before the trip. I have tons of spare parts.

Sounds like a very productive pre-meet to me!

Matt, just take notes and get as many things fixed before you leave for Greg's place. Make sure the parts are available and you have enough time. You don't want to miss FMVI!

Matt, that is NOT an offer to refuse! Take him up on it, get to Madness, make some new friends, have a great time, get a great running car, what better deal could there be???

The FL crew just keeps growing!
Matt, 13 hours is no excuse. I just drove an unknown Festiva for 3 days straight from N.C. to Phoenix, and I had never seen the car in person before I left. I cruised around 80 mph most of the way. These are tough little cars. My 93 auto shakes at 55ish, it's smooth at 65 though. I hope to see you at madness.

Is it just me or do these two sentences conflict with each :p

Just remember, it's easier to get forgiveness then permission

Hope to see ya at madness

[RhodeStiva]

LOL love the idea.

[htchbck]

If you do take Greg up on his offer, just keep an eye on your festiva... I've heard he's been known to stick some strange things up a festiva's backside
