California here I come! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yep, that’s me, Mr Over-Excited; at 8am tomorrow my wife and fly out from the UK to LA for our big road trip holiday so I'm signing out for three weeks. Wes from Classic Heartbeat has kindly sorted me out with a large bundle of goodies for my truck that I'm hand carrying back to the UK in my baggage (new carpet, engine wiring loom and some other bits and pieces) Gonna visit the local Chevy dealer whilst in Palm Springs to get some other stuff (spare HEI module, cap and rotor) and I'm sure may be tempted by lots more whilst I'm over.

Can't buy too much more or my wife will kill me if I have to leave my clothes behind when we come home.

If you see a large bearded man in a convertible driving down the wrong side of the road whilst staring at your truck don't reach for your gun, it'll probably be me!

Was just wondering last night if you already went, but now I know.
Sorry for the email about it. Have read it already? (Info about Vasteras)

Anyway, have a great time over there. Meet as many board members as you can!!

Cya,
Edmond

Thanks for the invite, unfortunately we'll be at Yosemite National Park on the 7th, it's a shame as it would have been great to meet you all.

Edmond, the info about Vasteras. I was reading an article about it in a magazine that said there was 10,000 cars there this year, that is big!

i'm a few hours north of yosemite, if you're heading this way (toward san francisco) let me know, maybe we could have a small board gathering. there are a few other members around here. and a LOT of trucks
