I imagine that the wide open vistas are a little different for Dave and Wayne. Just wait until they get off the interstates out there :s012:

Got back after 16 hours non-stop, whew, I'm beat. The R/T is safe but still in the trailer, gonna unload it in a few hours after some sleep. Got harrassed just like Kowalski by the Fuzz in Burlington, Colorado they were looking for a drunk dude when I was checking my tow straps on my R/T. Asked me for ID and my room number then checked on everything I told them. Then I got back into Illinois and Indiana,,had to slow to 55 MPH,,which was enforced at the time and they had at least 10 vehicles pulled over

Very Tired

by **fal308** » 05 Oct 2009 19:19

Didn't know Ill has a 55 mph trailer law. Just another reason to avoid that state.
I like your new signature :s017:

Just kidding about the ticket. They were not shy with the accelerator.

Wayne said the look on your face when I took off in your Chally was priceless. :lol:

by **dave-r** » 06 Oct 2009 12:13

I just want to thank Eddie and Drew from the bottom of my heart for making this trip so special. :nod:

Eddie i am really sorry that me and Wayne did not keep you company on the way back from Denver but we couldn't risk missing our flights home and for the sake of a £300 flight it was not worth risking hhaving to pay probably three times as much to get home if we had missed the flights.

Eddie your car is so cool and driving it through the Nevada desert was THE highlight of the trip. I think you could tell that by the grin on my face though.
Sorry about the 120mph speeds. :biggrin:

Drew your Challenger is the best handling (and sounding!) challenger I have ever driven or even seen. I am going to have to make some changes to mine at some point because I was very VERY impressed. Thanks for letting me put so many miles on it for you. :s017:

Jesus I am ill though. :cry:

The sausage and egg roll I had on the BA flight home has given me a really bad belly. :s001:

by **drewcrane** » 06 Oct 2009 12:48

dam glad to have you both and i am very honered to have you drive my car and thanks for the compliments, glad to see you made it home safely,and hope your belly feels better :thumbsup:

by **Eddie** » 06 Oct 2009 13:57

Glad to have met both Wayne&Dave and drove with both at some very nice Speeds! Dave I think a Keisler is in my future! I also want to Thank Drew& his Lovely wife Lisa without their help I couldnt have made it. And Big Pat he helped with both Money and driving my Tow Rig, I wished he could have gotten more seat time in my R/T but he got some in Goldfield. The trip back alone was unavoidable Dave,,not your or Wayne's fault. Hope your belly feels better. I still cant 'shake' the feeling of both R/T's at speed :s003:

I just got finished watching the movie again. I miss both the West and you dudes!! :thumbsup:

I sent Jim an E-Mail his and Gib's help was much appreciated. AMC"s ROCK!!! :thumbsup:

by **patrick** » 07 Oct 2009 3:41

by **drewcrane** » 07 Oct 2009 13:18

by **drewcrane** » 07 Oct 2009 13:27
