I would have to have a manual. Who cares if the auto is .3sec faster, I am not drag racing it and the fun to be had rowing through the gears in a high power V8 is something to be experienced. If I was thrown the keys to the Hellcat it would be going back with a new set of rear tyres..... Looking forward to the next installment! P.  |

Knowing what Woody did outside my home you would need new tyres. PS. Thanks MiataMark.  |

Speaking of decoys. This one was added from Dennis' mum and dads collection. Cool vintage stuff collected on the way to Ethyls    Some of the stuff inside the restaurant. There really is too much to record on film, unless you want to just do a threadon Ethyls restaurant.     Who would have dreamed all those years ago that Adam would one day progress from this, to a Hellcat and full Sprint cars.    Just checked........ Seems I have uploaded over 430 photos from this trip. Not including videos. That's a lot. Hope you guys have enjoyed the trip so far. Need a break now |

Big thanks for taking the time & effort to show us all yer gallivanting awesomeness You know what mate, it's an absolute pleasure if people are 1. Enjoying, and 2. Replying I guess I am fortunate that I have managed to cover a lot of ground in a very short time. And sleep inbetween. love it Grizz, simply love it! Glad you do, it was pretty awesome from this side too. Question is Rian who are you getting to host this years Kelly pictures.... P. Paul, I am still wondering if anyone really wants to see pics of a young lady all over me...... Or rather just stick to car stuff. This is after all a car forum  |

... I am still wondering if anyone really wants to see pics of a young lady all over me...... Or rather just stick to car stuff. This is after all a car forum You may ask WHY, but you must not ask IF! Kelly is CAR RELATED! She is a part of Ethyl´s, has a nice shape and seems to be retro according to THAT photo - from a time before nipples were declared bad! edit: Just in case I need to prove that nipples are indeed retro car related:  This was one of, and continues to be one of my favourites of all time. Do you know who she was.....?? Well in that case Rian I am privaliged to have been given a private preview... P. I think you may just have to be privileged for a while longer sir. |

This was one of, and continues to be one of my favourites of all time. Do you know who she was.....?? Sure, That's Pam Hardy, or Jungle Pam if you like. Jim Libermans skimpy outfit wearing sidekick, best known for her provocative on-track actions, and helping Jim back to the line after he did burnouts.  No idea what she's doing here, and I don't even care! |

So we made it into Ethyls I was welcomed back like a long lost hero, we also ran into Rob who had cooked at the birthday party. Once settled, we ordered drinks and twice cooked Chicken wings. Man... !!! They are championship winners. Dennis still had a truck to paint later..... So only iced tea for the poor guy. Me......  I walked about and chatted, and got a few pics for you guys.   Lunch was over all too soon and we had to head out to the airport. Checked in, more sight seeing. Loved this......  Check out the left hand phone. Free calls locally. What a service St Louis !!!  I will be back shortly, once I upload the last few photos. |

Superb, Grizz - just brilliant. Love your enthusiasm and the detail you capture. I’ve done quite a few US and Canada road trips and am always enthralled by every aspect of the culture. Excellent work and thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to post so much. :-)
