Glad you had a good time, Bill.
I'm worn out from reading your thread. Talk about a whirlwind tour.....
Good luck on the T bird. One of my favorites.
Keep us updated on the speedster.

Awesome grip - and a great T-bird to boot! I actually really like the interior of those cars - looks like something out of a future world!

Man, I love a road trip, and this sounds like three or four of them rolled into one. Good show! . . . or whatever they say down under, mate. Really glad you made the PCH. That by itself would be worth the visit. Glad you made it back in one piece.
i hope you enjoyed the americas. i have alot of respect for the aussies. spent a week in sydney(kings cross area) in 1971 on R&R from nam. was treated very favorably by the populace and have nothing negative to say about the stay except i wish i could have stayed longer, a few of my mates did but thats another story.GDAY Mate.
Thanks Folks,
we had such a great time in the USA were now thinking about buying a RV and doing it again, I dont really know a hell of a lot about these are they come in about half this size in OZ, So I would appreciate any coments on the why's and why not.
The plan would be, buy a RV for about $10,000... spend 3 months in the USA each year and just travel about enjoying life, seeing stuff, meeting people and just enjoying life, you guys have a great county.
Regards Bill and Gill
PS The Thunderbird arrives next week
