So just how much baggage allowance do you and Amanda have for spares?

Would have been nice to join you guys there for lunch.

And Don, trust you and Mrs Boss are going to have a wonderful time.

Travel safe.

I have booked an extra two cases so I now have 4x23kg hold allowance and 2x10kg cabin allowance . But last year I ended up paying to upgrade 2 cases to 32kg at a cost of $60 each.

Modges'66 · 09-27-2014, 10:47 PM

Don,
I realize that you hate to hand-sand, but did you know that I hand finished sanded EVERYTHING on the exterior of my truck?
It is the ONLY way to truly get a flat finish!
Good luck!

Ta2Don · 10-08-2014, 09:40 PM

Small update during our trek home...

Met up with Martin and Amanda on Holiday from the UK...

Took them out to eat and enjoyed a trip over to Tampa with Martin as he picked up some parts for him and also for Grizz...

Here are a few Pix...

Ta2Don · 10-08-2014, 09:41 PM

…and a few more...

Grizz1963 · 10-09-2014, 07:19 AM

Martin looks as happy as a pig in poop.

You guys must have had trouble not buying up the whole shop.

Glad you guys met up.

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-09-2014, 11:06 AM

Dang brotha! Wish I coulda been at that shop! lol.

Ta2Don · 10-10-2014, 12:26 PM

I didn't get a pic,,,

but Dennis (the owner) was stripping a '72 frame while we were there...

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-10-2014, 02:16 PM

My life has been ruined because of that.

markeb01 · 10-10-2014, 03:29 PM

A nice side adventure on a road trip, along with meeting up with visiting friends. Outstanding!

rusty76 · 10-10-2014, 04:25 PM

Very cool!

**clemdaddy** · 10-10-2014, 05:17 PM

thats what its all about. road trip heaven.
man, wished i could have been there.

Bomp · 10-10-2014, 10:29 PM

Now thats what I call a memorable road trip. With prizes no less.

Ta2Don · 10-10-2014, 11:00 PM

Thanks Guys!!!
We made it home today and the only catch in the whole nine yards was that I neglected to check the GMC Turn Signal lenses while at Dennis' in Tampa...

I ended up with 2 LH lenses even though one box in the taped together pair of boxes was marked RH…
Oh well, I will call Dennis Monday and get the right one on it's way...

One Week til Clem's...

dwcardfan · 10-10-2014, 11:18 PM

Glad you had a good trip Brother! And new parts!!!!!!
