Re: [A/S] Airstream Wanna Be :-)
Hi Chas,
Thanks for the comeback. For several years, we made the round trip run
from Upstate New York to Colorado Springs using the Suburban with our
Safari. The Suburban is such a comfortable trouble free vehicle that we
forget about the heart pounding performance our Mercury provides.
The last long trip with our Mercury was towing our '69 27' Airstream on
the Alaska Caravan. It handled our Airstream with ease at every
altitude. We loved how the a/c blew snowflakes at us one hot day along
the Wind River highway going into the Tetons (10,000 ft). The Mercury
is our Summer tow vehicle when we want pure, unadulterated, no nonsense
performance.
All three of our tow vehicles are mechanically mint except the Mercury
which is also in near showroom condition. I love my old vehicles as do
the mechanics in our performance garage. I passed your suggestion along
to them. They told me that's just what I need - another tow vehicle for
our stable. Not! <grin>
It was good to hear from you.
Stay sharp - drive smart,
Terry
