Is Seth still waiting for us at "No Name"?

Yep, that crazy cat e-mailed me and told me that after a long safety meeting he was gonna consult with Drew about installing a 500HP Nitrous plate on that Buick Station Wagon and dust both Drew and My R/T's doors off!! :s024:

Luv those shakers!!! :s017:

by **Eddie** » 12 Oct 2009 17:59

Yeah I love anything that shakes and quivers. Especially busty chicks! :lol:

The whole trip, my alternator output stud,(Sense Wire), was hanging by the lead with no nut on it! 529 miles :lol:

I broke the stud off flush with the case with my fingers as it was 'microweld and corroded) so it's off in town to the auto electric store for a new stud and a quick check as I'm sure it was full fielding then normal charge every few seconds :lol:

by **Eddie** » 12 Oct 2009 18:00

I did finally wash the R/T in the rain,,no water spots that way by god,,terry hut,,,spit!(shake&bake man) :lol:

how did you find out?

by **Goldenblack440** » 12 Oct 2009 20:10

Well, i have looked at all the pics and read the comments and a big well done on a great trip -great you made it there and back with no dramas, and safe. (amazing about the alternator Ed, that car must love you). SOme of the pictures are awesome, the ones with the beautiful mountains in the background (with snow) is that Colorado? It is fantastic scenery. The black Chal of Drews is a beast for sure -the two Challengers have completely different characters don't they? But that shaker is something else, wow. Not quite sure on the names with the faces -Dave is the tall guy with the Union Jack T shirt, Bob -did he go ? Wayne is Red Raven the Irish fellow, did Patrick go? Didn't see any shots of him And which one is Ed? Looks different to the last shot i saw, if its the guy with the round dark glasses and hat at the airport next to Dave?

Who is the fellow in front of the muliticoloured purple (mostly purple) wagon?

Can't wait for the complete photo set.

Was there any roads that were very deserted, so you could get on the go-pedal? Or were there always other cars around?

PS i love that black Rebel and the dark gold Superbee. They are beautiful cars

Who is the fellow in front of the muliticoloured purple (mostly purple) wagon that is safety engineer seth,he is an amc nut ,and pat did go with us,

Was there any roads that were very deserted, so you could get on the go-pedal? Or were there always other

we both exceeded the 120 mph barrier,i was comfortable to go along way at speeds above 100 mph but i ended up to far ahead of the swag wagons and one night i got a text from my wife saying they had lost me and wayne in the desert ,she didnt sleep well until i called her :frown:

Yeah keeping Drew's lead foot off the floor was a big problem as the trucks had no chance of keeping up and he was playing his music too loud to hear his mobile ringing! :lol:

This is the crew that made it 'till the end.

Dave Robson, Wayne Byrne, Gib, Drew Crane, James Weyand, Pat Hartley, and Eddie Nasser.

Bob couldn't come and we lost a guy called Seth early on. Literally lost him.
