I haven`t got the fastest set of wheels in town but next week I am off to the US of A for a few days (8 weeks actually) and in August with be visiting THE SALT ! after this I am working as a volunteer at the Concours D`Elegance. 2 Bucket list ticks in one go. I am already deleting everything from my SD cards and will be posting en-route if possible.

I'm not really into the concours type events, but certainly wouldn't turn the opportunity donwn. The salt, however, this is something I DREAM of doing. I cannot express how much I'd love to go and reckon you should'nt just be clearing out all your SD cards, you should be buying as many as you can in readiness. Nice one Dude, this is one thread I really look forward to.

Once you've visited, you'll be able to watch and read all sorts of things and think 'I've been there'. That's what I'm doing right now. It's a good feeling.

Paul I will try and smuggle some powdered white stuff through customs just for you ! As long as you find a place for it on the `57.

That would be truly amazing. But I fear you may be arrested on your way through customs.... May take some explaining. But if it was at all possible. Id be hanging it from my rear view with pride.

I'm jealous. I don't really go in for bucket lists but Bonneville is probably the one place I would really like to go to. I'd say enjoy it but I can't really see how you couldn't to be honest. I will look forward to seeing shitloads of pictures.

You will get salt fever, i went 3 years ago and so want to go back. helped run a car while on our honeymoon! Try and camp with the racers on the edge of the slat flats as the party is great, just watch out for the scorpions! we only went into wendover for supplies and the laundrette spent the rest of the time on the salt. taken from the pits

Guys I am now ensconsed in my San Jose HQ staying with my friend Brendan and his family. We went out yesterday to pick some parts up for his custom Bicycle and had the most amazing day. I will be posting several threads as each episode of the day panned out to reveal even more cool things.

Me the missus and a mate of mine drove from Vegas to Venice Beach L.A a few years back, straight across the Mojave desert, absolutely bloody awesome! We got stopped at the California state line and they asked us if we were carrying any fruit. Called in at Whiskey Petes casino where they had Bonnie and Clydes bullet ridden Ford V8 on display alongside one of Al Capones Caddys. Only in America!
