that sign they bolted to the roof looks a little more fancy than the one they whipped up for the box!

kind of a neat way that they two-toned the paint on this stepside.

Nice!

COOL!!I bet you weren`t offended by the message on the marquis,either.Not so p.c.,but i don`t play that game.

Did you visit LA yet? Report in!

Phildooney · 06-08-2008, 11:24 AM

Yea Billydonn, We toured from LA to Bakersfield, out through Death Valley to Las Vegas. Then on to the Grand Canyon South Rim near Williams. Then back along some of the Old 66 to Amboy.( The best part of the trip!! ). We then stayed at Laguna for a few days, Finally ending in Santa Monica.
We had a great time out there and will return again sometime. Saw so many classics out there. I sat outside a cafe in Bakersfield and just watched and listened to those V8 rumble passed. Plenty of good quality 60' 70's trucks still around, and in every day use. You guys are sure lucky to be living across the Pond!. And petrol only $4 .... Phil.

Na, we didn't bother with Radiator Springs this time. We have seen it on DVD and thought it looked a little false.

Cool pic! Did you take it in Seligman, AZ? My sister lives there and it looks familiar...

Phildooney · 06-09-2008, 11:44 AM

Jchav62, yes it was Seligman. We called in there to get something to eat but the cafe was closed.

No it was mid week when we did the 66 thing. Talking to local people, they said there are alot of classic cars and trucks in the area at weekends.

Phildooney · 06-11-2008, 11:25 AM

The town of Ashfork and the diner at Amboy were very interesting .
