longhorn70gmc · 09-09-2007, 07:01 PM

Will you be taking your personal NX, (MoutainDew)?

chevyboy55 · 09-09-2007, 07:27 PM

Where you picking it up?

glock35ipsc · 09-09-2007, 09:59 PM

Andy, you coming through this area?

Brad · 09-09-2007, 11:32 PM

Be safe and don't forget your contact list!

Longhorn Man · 09-09-2007, 11:45 PM

dew is a must
I'll be flying out to CG's place... close to Seattle, and cruising back here to ohio.
I won't be doing the southern route... taking the shortest point a to point b route. I had considered going the other way, but I probaly shouldn't push it.
Contact list... I'll be takin care of that before I go... good reminder though.

72armyswbtruck · 09-09-2007, 11:53 PM

Good luck on your journey Andy, I'll be waiting for your route plans. And remember if you get stuck anywhere around Idaho give me a call I will bring you tools or what ever.

prairewolf · 09-10-2007, 06:24 AM

Safety tip,.. If you bring a Lap Top do not type at 70mph in heavy traffic.

excactly! you could spill Dew on it, short out the battery and have a fire on your lap. it might even start the burb on fire and leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

now, how's THAT for a jinx?!

O'l Buck · 09-10-2007, 08:44 AM

Good Luck to ya Andy, if you're comming through this way and need a hand with anything, I've got a clean spot in the shop.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-10-2007, 09:23 AM

I guess I missed a thread somewhere where it explains what the heck you guys are talking about. All I can guess is that he is buying a BB LongHorn(?)

hotrodmtodd · 09-10-2007, 10:46 AM

Wow, Andy with a BURB! Now THAT is cool. I wish there was a way we could swap Indiana and Pennsylvania for a few days so we could have a Norwood reunion brother. I will be heading to CA soon to drive back an old Chevy ramp truck. Wish we could convoy! Have fun, be careful and Godspeed my friend. Take care, Mike
PS I Double Dog Dare you to make that Burb a 133" wheelbase man. I will even donate the roof section! hehe

Longhorn Man · 09-10-2007, 03:07 PM

No lap top. I was just getting ready to buy one when i saw the add for the burb.
I'll be in Idaho, but just the northern tip on I-29, 680, and I80.
Lets not talk about being stranded now.

I don't see an Orleans, NE on my map... is it off of I80? That's what I'll be going through on.
longhorn, You can see whats up here; BIG BLOCK BURB Come complete with a parts rig too.
Tod, while a double dog dare normally mean you HAVE to do it... I'll have to playthe part of the wuss on this one. No big body mods are planned.

toomanytoyz · 09-10-2007, 03:22 PM

Decided when to Leave Yet??

Thanks, Rick

Longhorn Man · 09-10-2007, 03:43 PM

not set in stone yet... but lookin at the 22nd of this month.

weasel29gm · 09-10-2007, 04:55 PM

glock35ipsc · 09-10-2007, 05:27 PM

Let me know if you are planning a layover in Cheyenne or Laramie. Maybe I can rustle up powell72 and we can buzz up there for a beer.
