Topic: Trans Am Oz -trip to USA

[Trans am Oz]

HI Everyone
Was a blast and a half to meet so many people from here,TAC and All Gen...just makes it that more personal from now on when we do our posts
Jeff,Joe and Andrew you wont meet a nicer bunch of people

Quick update on the trip, we left Dayton on Monday morning and headed to Chicago, we dropped in at the brickyard at Indiannapolis for a tour (but the track was closed due to a bike race on the weekend) 
We drove into Chicago and quickly discovered how expensive parking was 27.00 for 2 hours!! Had a quick look at the sites, and then found the start of route 66 and headed out of chicago to look for accomodation.. stayed at a place near Indianhead way - it was cheap... and we paid for it.    - we barely got any sleep due to bad bed, smelly place, loud airconditioning that made noise but no cool air and a weird neighbourhood.  We got up early and got out of there....but it still didnt stop us enjoying the day heading along route 66 - made it to springfield to a nice hotel with internet, but we zonked out early.  Heading off to St Louis MO today - so we hope to post pics tonight

Andrew when we last spoke to Bealy and Barry I think they had bought 5 between them - some cars were just great deals... no doubt they probably bought a few more, I guess we will find out in October.    As to getting u something.. a bit fat NOTHING.. lol.. we got you the radio knobs.  We are on a tshirt buying ban..we have bought too many - we had to buy another suitcase and Mal is saying we have to buy another one soon.. mmmm we will see.  Having such a great time..
