thank you bluesea

i was driving from yountville to infineon raceway, on my way home to san francisco, to grab some race gas. i had 1/16 of a tank left, the digital read out said i had 50 miles left, so i was driving like grandma.

about 5 miles away, i see a 997tt in the mirror - but i couldn't play i was babying the car, keeping my fingers crossed, hoping the thing would make it.

about 2 blocks away, the car started sputtering and that was that - no more gas! i pulled over, the 997tt guys waved, and then turned around to help out.

it wasn't a far walk, but it's always nice to get help. and then it turns out i get help from a 700hp 997tt - nice Seablue and his buddy were pretty cool, his buddy drove me to the gas station, while seablue watched over my car on the side of the road.

thanks again seablue!

- chuck

My pleasure! I'm glad we were able to offer a hand Chuck. Funny how things work out sometimes.

I noticed that you took 101 south as I was about to do but Jim felt the urge for a beer so we headed up to the next northbound exit.

It would have been interesting to have a little EVT 700 play as both our cars are configured that way.

Hope to see you on the roads (not on the side )in the near future!
