Thanks! Not sure when I'll get back to the southeast ... been there a few times the last few years. BUT ... if you're still around there, I definitely will stop by and check out your car ... and, of course, meet you, too! That's why I do the road trips, after all ... meet people. PLUS ... the trips keep me out of trouble ... somewhat, anyway . lol


*grins*

Glad you saw this! As I recall, you're in the Philly area ... so that'd be a perfect stop along the way. I'll probably post more details late this year/early next year ... stay tuned .

Good!


And, monte07 ... I was in the southeast November 2007 .



I had a WONDERFUL trip the weekend of Thanksgiving, driving through southern IL, middle TN, parts of MS (namely Tupelo), and Alabama (Birmingham). I even had time to stop at a few places along Route 66 in Dwight IL and Odell IL! Pics, etc., will be ready soon.


In the meantime ... a quick note about 2010 ... the trip, as of now, WILL be in August, as I've noted, unless the Binghamton event is a different weekend. So, if you want to meet up along the way, let me know....!
