My new 1984 FC35

[Ron & Patty]

Keith,

While turning, clear the corner with the rear wheels. When climbing
watch the gears to keep your RPM's up and eye your water temperature.
When descending use lower gears, and the retarder so as to not
over-rev. Run the fan override while using the retarder for long
descents like you'll have on the Grapevine. Don't over steer. If you
find yourself doing so, try driving with one had only. Look down the
road rather than over your dash.

Regarding the Grapevine. Going southbound into LA, you'll find the
mountain freeway is steep, rough, twistee, crowded and the lines
aren't painted well. Gets confusing as to which lane you should be
in. Take'r slow down that mountain.

Have fun!
