8600 miles in 30 great days

Man that is cool!! There's nothing like road tripping in a vintage vehicle......

I didn't realize how tiny that car is, those pics with you standing by it really make it look small.

Maybe it's a normal size car, but I'm a giant? 



At the "Cool Springs Gas Station" Sitgreaves Pass, Arizona -- on the original Route 66. (That section is a GREAT DRIVE!)

I agree with Rabbitman... You look like 6'2"-6'6"ish, but that car looks tiny still... I was always under the impression they were a fair bit bigger than that.

I too, am far from a purist, so I absolutely love what you did, and I'd giggle like a school girl if I saw you roll by in that thing. I'm half way through your blog and loving the adventure. I think I'll be planning a very similar tour for sometime in the next year or two, it just sounds too fantastic not to do.

I've been across Canada in both directions now, and I'm going to James Bay this summer, so next year, maybe a Southern tour is in order...

It sounds like you got great mileage, what kind of total fuel costs did you rack up? And for that matter, how are fuel costs around the country? I know it changes quite a bit up here from region to region and province to province. I should blog my last trip across Canada, it was quite the adventure.

Na -- I was just kidding, I'm only 5-11    The car is TINY by today's standards!

Here's a picture of it next to a 997 Cup Car that I saw on my travels -- my how Porsche's have grown!



I'd love to travel more up in Canada, I've lived my whole life right on the Ontario border and I've been married to a Manitoba gal for 27 years, so I figure I'm about 1/2 Canadian now 

Unfortunately, I can't get away from work in the Summer, and I don't think I'd want to drive up to James Bay in February --

It's hard to judge when there's not many people around you in your pictures, but I'd pegged you over 6' for sure...

Just getting past the part where you saw that new Porsche, in your travels actually. Love the shots.

I love reading travel blogs, they're so inspiring.

Glad you got it going and had a tremendous trip. Gives me inspiration to complete my quantum to rabbit pickup build.

how on earth are you going to turn a quantum into a rabbit pickup?

That crossed my mind.........that's the picture I was looking at too .

I used to have an outline drawing of an early 356 porsche inside a 928. I have no idea where it went, otherwise I'd post it up for you.
