Small convoy to the Festiva Madness?

[Victor Lang]

Convoy from Bluefield, West Virginia

If I go is it possible to meet up in Bluefield, West Virginia. MY automatic 91 Festiva is uncomfortable over 55 miles per hour. It shakes over that speed. I might be going too slow for the convoy. If you could tolerate that I would like to meet up. I live in Lexington, Kentucky and will be taking the Mountain Parkway etc. through Pikeville, Kentucky, Grundy & Richlands, Virginia. I am guessing the time would be about 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon or you could name the time.

Victor, have you had your wheel balance and your front end parts checked lately? You should be able to get rid of that shake. Or try going to 13" wheels and tires.

Done wheel bearings on the front drivers side. It has been stolen and retrieved. A mechanic said there was some damage to the "chasis"

Since zoom zoom is out. Is the small convoy down to the madness still happening?

I'm not clear on where to meet anyone along my route from post #1. ? ? ?

Get the car to the meet! One of us should be able to figure out what is wrong, and possibly get it fixed!

We'll go about 200 miles when we hit Charleston.. if we end up going. What day are you leaving?

IF we go, we'll get to Raleigh mid-day on the 4th. So unsure when we'd leave, likely very early on the 3rd. Long drives are not something we're too used to.

This is our most likely route:

I get on 77 right here in marietta/parkersburg, but if you want to get together in charleston we could try that.. I'm probably heading down sometime Friday morning/mid day. I want to be able to get down there well before 6 and get a room+probably go chill at barbs.

I am going the same way, part of the trip.

From St. Louis, MO Hwy 64 all the way through Ill, Ind, WV, etc..til I hit Hwy 77
Leaving 2-3 pm thursday.

May be able to meet there with someone????
Sho' would be nice to convoy part way!!!

Safety guy and I are leaving Huntington around 11-11:30am and can be in Charleston at exit 99 at Wendy's around 12-12:30pm.
Anyone going to be there speak up now or were driving on through.

I sent a PM to Drdan, but he probably won't get it if he's on the road unless he has one of them newfangled Eye Phones.
