    You got the right idea there Bib! I had some much fun drivin' through the country side. a road trip really means something when you do it in a car you built. I'm planning on drivin' mine from Detroit to Brooklyn NY this summer. The Pennsylvania leg of the trip will be a great drive. I'll take more photos and better video on this trip.

    Dude, wht a great post, I don't know what I laughed the most over the kitty pile up in the avatar or your jacket on fire!! But there ain't nuthin funny about the roadster, it is pure bitchin with the flatty or the Caddy. Awesome stance and sweet classic combo job. Loved the one piece at a time by J.C. with that beautiful Caddy Coupe sitting in the background, did it lose its mill to the roadster? Thanx pal, ~sololobo~

    Great video, looks like footage by Les Stroud on Survivorman.
    I can appreciate your roadster camping trip as my roadster and I camped at Coldbrook Park in Kalamazoo back in Sept. I didn't have a space saving cooking system like you. I was lucky enough to hookup with my camping neighbors that had set up a 20 ft mess tent and they feed me. Also they shared their Bud Lights and fresh fried cat fish with me. Going to camp again next year.

    Excellent! Great photo and your car looks bad ass. Are you running a rumble seat? If so , you have less room than me. Hot rod camping is great fun. I'm also going to do another trip next year. I hope you find out where the folks with the catfish and beer are gunna be, then you can just roll up and it can be like old times.
    Cheers!
