Subject:How hard can you push a Westy?
From:Royston, Jerry

I need some advice.  I'm thinking about going up to Newfoundland from the DC
area and would have to travel a good 1,100 miles in 2 days to make it
worthwhile.  Is this too much to ask of a Westy?  The most I've driven in
one day so far has maybe been 300 miles with no problems.  Can you run a
Westy at 65 or 70 for 8 hours a day or for that matter at 50 for 10 hours?
I just don't want to push the van beyond its limitations.
