Making the trip to Fayetteville tomorrow to get the new baby! A just in-country 712M! Christmas really is coming early!

Thanks to everyone on this forum who has (and will in the future I hope) taken the time to answer my few questions and given us all a great place to discuss these unique vehicles.

too many wheels, other that that, sounds great! Just kidding, enjoy and take it slow.

Well, I did it! Picked up my 712M Saturday morning from Willie and Shari at SAV and started the nearly 300 miles home. Steering was crisp and not too much exercise, but was I ever glad to have a set of ear plugs with me!!! Top speed was between 85-90 kilometers, seemingly no problems.
Have driven it everyday so far with no issues. Thanks!
