Larry,

I listened to lots of great music, too several old US highways when I tired
of the interstates, and drove at 4000 rpm's and 50~55 mph (80 kph) the whole
way. In retrospect though, I should have tried to buy a flat-bed truck, or
truck and dolly, to haul it home, and then sold the truck here. Glad I made
it, a very tiring drive.

Karl
