Feste Posted December 28, 2023 Report Posted December 28, 2023 So...I just took delivery of a new JCW Clubman (one of the last ever to be made!) and, as it happens, I am driving from DC to Pittsburgh next week. Any suggestions for interesting routes that would be fun, but not so fun that I would mess up the breaking-in period? I was thinking of cutting through WV on non-interstates, but I would welcome any ideas. Not that it is likely that anyone would suggest otherwise, but I would like to stay on paved roads because, you know, paint. Many thanks in advance. 1
1975_mini Posted December 28, 2023 Report Posted December 28, 2023 Not sure where in DC you are coming from but getting over to 7, the 50 through WV, and working you way up 42 to 40 into Pittsburgh will add about an 1:30 to the direct route, but give you some nice winding roads with out crazy twisties to completely derail your trip. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Washington,+DC/Pittsburgh,+PA/@40.3929887,-79.1530121,8z/data=!4m24!4m23!1m15!1m1!1s0x89b7c6de5af6e45b:0xc2524522d4885d2a!2m2!1d-77.0368707!2d38.9071923!3m4!1m2!1d-78.6733566!2d39.3127942!3s0x89b5788fdcac4559:0x672917070154d27b!3m4!1m2!1d-79.454744!2d39.5056123!3s0x883555f6191ed4db:0x607a4b3b1c1f4e18!1m5!1m1!1s0x8834f16f48068503:0x8df915a15aa21b34!2m2!1d-79.9958864!2d40.4406248!3e0?entry=ttu Our run season will pick up again in late Feb, hope to see you are a few runs this year. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
