Upcoming Road Trip

Post by guthrie1068 »

I am driving from Jackson, MI to St. Louis MO this Saturday, 4/12 and staying in St. Louis until next Thursday. I'll be taking I-69 to Indianapolis then jumping on I-70 west. If you see me out and about be sure to say hi! I'm also planning on hitting a cruise night Saturday in St. Louis at a sports bar, and then Sunday morning cars and coffee at The Cherry Garage. Come hang out if you are in the area.

Have fun, my trips have been around 250 or so miles each way and very enjoyable.

I made it, the trip was fantastic with no drama at all! I took the route around the south end of Indy, drove about 65-70 the entire way, it took me about 8 hours total.

Made it home Thursday afternoon, completely uneventful trip both ways. This car is completely sorted, I’d drive it anywhere. What a great trip.

One last pic from my trip, I met a couple pretty cool people in St. Louis. Scott France and a bunch of the guys at Classic Car Studio were awesome. I also got to tour Hyman Ltd. Which is a high end classic car broker.
