Big drive tomorrow.

When you get to Sonoma, check out Oakville Grade Road. Very twisty. There were a couple parts of the road with less than ideal asphalt, though. It will spit you out around Oakville Grocery and Opus One.
I drove from San Jose to San Diego and back. PCH is awesome, but on one of the legs, you might want to go through 33 Los Padres National Forest to 166 and connect back to PCH by SLO. Have an awesome drive!

 

Drove my TR from Baltimore, MD, to Asheville, NC, too many years ago. The way home was in one shot - 7.5 hours. No worries at all. If you do interstate the whole way, be careful as the speed will creep as it just loves to eat up miles. Enjoy it!

 

I was going with my competition from my home to hamburg and the next day back. each way about 820 km and had no problems with my car, only with some other car/drivers going too slow and could not pass them as I wanted

enjoy the trip and you will feel how good such a long distance is for your car

 

50 miles each way so far like brian says on some trs mines a bar hopper should be a blast driving the red head long distance have a safe trip

 

Depends on the speed but if you keep it rational you will be surprised how well it can do on I 5.

 

Very nice! A few months ago I drove my silver 87 Miles Davis TR from Fort Lauderdale to Sheffield, Mass. 19 hours straights. A miracle I made it, given how rotted out the fuel lines turned out be once I got home (so much for that recent major service by the dealer down there..... ). Regardless, an amazing drive. It's made to cover long distance.

 

sad to hear about this blown fuse. but good that you just could fix the problem by yourself

normaly everyone has spare fuses in the car. but what tools you brought for what to do?

sad to see the 308 without registration/license plate in the green

 

before I did the fuel-injection modification this fuse also have blown 2 times. but after the second time I put this fuse outside the box to change faster when it will blow again. but never had to change then

so you have then a tool truck ?

 

Is there a root cause for this fuse blowing?

 

good question. the 2 times my fuse was blown has always been after I was driving about 3 km, stopped the engine and started again / wanted to start again about 5 minutes later. never found the reason

 

I am very surprised the mileage was that low. On I 5 over 20 is the norm.

If you are talking about the fuse mounted to the Bosch protection relay that is not normal.

 

Funny, breaking down never made me happy. Cant help but think there may be a connection. 17 is poor mileage for I 5 for that speed. I have driven it in mine the same way and was in the 20's.

 

Long trips is pretty much all we use the TR for and in 2 years the only unplanned stop was for a flat tire. I will not keep a car that won't have that kind of reliability.

And I still think there is an issue with your mileage. 10 isn't OK either.
