AW: [mg-tabc] Digest Number 734

Post by wolfgang.thaller@avl.com » Thu Feb 14, 2002 6:56 am

Hi friends from the even landscape, In Austria we have a lot of mountains and roads higher than 7500 ft (2500 meters) and therefore it could be a problem to climb this roads with your old cars. In summer 2000 I drove my TC over the Gro glockner Hochalpenstra e (the highest point was 2575m - approx. 7725 ft) and had big troubles to do that. The engine power was decreasing and there was a big traffic jam on the road and we had very often to stop the car and go away from the rampant road. On the last passage my cousin Patrick had to jump out of the TC and push the car. In case of the very thin air the engine couldn t produce the sufficient power to bring us over the hill. So far from the country site in Austria where we are using this strange unit METER :-) Good luck for your trips in Colorado, Alaska, Switzerland and anywhere, where you are confronted with high mountain roads. Of course we managed the situation and have been very proud about our TC ! Best wishes from Austria Wolfgang / Tom Charly 4170 (the best car which was ever build)
