Upcoming Road Trip
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.

Re: Upcoming Road Trip
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.

You need to make it Helen GA one of these times, I'll be heading there next week for their show.

Re: Upcoming Road Trip
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.
