Go With Andy

they only fly to a handfull of places and are based outta columbus. It's almost an assett in reality.

toomanytoyz · 09-01-2007, 02:31 AM

How Long you think it will take to get it all Home? Going By Yourself?

Thanks, Rick

Hey Longhorn Man...
If you stop by and visit with WES...he owes me a hot dog from his gathering of about two years ago. Why don't you pick it up for me.

Longhorn Man · 09-01-2007, 05:01 PM

Rick, I only have 3 vacation days left... combined with a weekend, 5 total.
I sure hope it don't take that long.

70 CST.. I do plan on stoppin at Wes's if he has any hot dogs, I'll grab one... but I can't promise you it'll make it here.

toomanytoyz · 09-01-2007, 05:09 PM

That will Be Racking up some Mileage Each Day, Have you Decided if you will start with the Weekend or Hope to end up with the Weekend?

Rick

Longhorn Man · 09-01-2007, 05:12 PM

I'll have to fly outta here on saturday morning.
As far as the actual drive, point a to point b with no stops is only 32 or so Hrs... so it isn't far fetched at all.

OldCreek · 09-02-2007, 12:16 AM

Every time I think I overpaid for my burb I end up realizing that it has everything I could have wanted, I didn't have to look for months/years to find it, and the guy met me half way to deliver it!

When I realize what kind of emotion it evokes and the enthusiasm of others for these autos I'm stoked!

Stoked for you, too, Longhorn Man!

stllookn · 09-02-2007, 02:59 AM

Holy Crapola.........is the infamous LONGHORN MAN coming to Seattle??? I guess I should visit the parts board more often! I think a Longhorn arrival committee and caravan out to Monroe would be appropriate. I smell a big party and barbeque!!!!!!!!

Longhorn Man · 09-02-2007, 12:29 PM

LOL, I forgot you were even in washington!

How come I didnt get all this attention when I drove this thing 40 miles home the first time?

72gord · 09-10-2007, 08:59 PM

Hey Andy, if you take the route Jeffspower mapped out...you would be within 40 miles of me in Wisconsin...could help out with rescue/repair/tools if needed, I'll keep watch for your route and date thread when you get it finalized. Good luck on the trip and congrats on the Burb!! P.S. wish I had the time, i would pay my own way and go with for company/help/co-pilot or whatever. Fellow Dew drinker, Gord

Mudder · 09-11-2007, 04:00 AM

Everyone along the route should make sure they are on the contact list just in case Andy does need help somewhere. The more on the list makes it easier to find someone if help is needed. Sounds like fun Andy. If I wasn't working I'd go with ya.

CrashEd · 09-11-2007, 05:44 AM

I have a truck and trailer with wench so if anything happens within a couple hundred miles from Pana Il.If more than that i might need gas money LOL!! Give me a call if you need help.Ill P.M you my phone #

There is a lot of stuff I miss on the board because I usually just hit the bigger areas. I just noticed we have a recipe section...Who knew?
