So today…….

Adam wanted to buy a 110k mile 25 year old Limousine. 
 

Just use as a runaround car. 
 

Yes. Thats what he does. 
 

So we left Dennis’ place at 10.30 with Tyler along to drive the Ford pickup truck back. 
 

Got there by 12.45 and waited to 1.15 for the seller 

 

Test drive, details and cash exchanged and were off. 
 

Zero aircon. 
 

My passenger door glass would not go down. 
 

We stopped at the first auto parts store, paid $67.00 for a Freon refill kit. 
 

Failed……. Probably a leak somewhere in the system. 
 

Home by 4.30 pm. 
 

Dennis who has repaired more limos than he cares to admit, expected a total POS. 
 

Walked around it a few times, looked inside all the door shuts, interior and under the hood at the motor and finally in the trunk. 
The trunk had about $80.00 to $100.00 worth of Fireball party buckets and Jaegermeister sleeves (10 x 50ml per sleeve), Planters peanuts and other unused items. 
The car came with four new tyres, new headlights and ovrr half a tank of fuel. 
 

The 120 plus mile drive home was absolutely comfortable and smooth. 
 

Proclaiming it a lot better than expected

Been using a bit of trim off the El Camino target shooting pickup truck to make up a bit of trim for the limo this morning. 

Next step, fine tools to shape it more, then fitting. 

Not perfect but better than a blank space.

America 2025

 

Impulse trip…… 

 

Invitation from Adam, Dennis’ son. 

He paid for the ticket with some of his millions of air-miles. 

 

 So I Had a date all day on Monday with this lovely lady. Met her last years road trip with Craig for literally 5 minutes and the friendship grew since then. 

 

She had driven over two hours to come see me. With her husband’s knowledge. I have spoken with him previously on FaceTime as well. 

 

It was undeniably one of the nicest days I’ve spent with a lady in the last 3 plus years. Crazy, I know. 

 

She brought me a bottle of Canadian Royal Crown Blackberry whisky. Shared with Dennis of course. 

 

I had made her a special skull spider after realising she liked them, and brought her a few packs of British playing cards for her AirBnB home.

 

When she drove off in the afternoon, I felt like a kid who had dropped his ice cream.

 

Robbed, with no way of fixing it.

 

Just a lovely day with a super nice human being. Who’s spirit lights up the world.  

 

My life is good. 

 

 

(Picture of last year’s first meeting included when we met)

Back from 16 days in America 

 

Might as well be 16 months for George. 

 

He was actually in the house when I got in at 10.00am 

 

Shadowed me all day. 

 

Weird boy….., 

 

Went to sleep at 9.00pm and he slept on my suitcase all night. 

 

Transferred to my chest at 06.00

 

 

I am loaded with guilt every time I go away.

Back to America. 
 

Seems like I slipped up posting pics and videos of taking Adams C10 for its Technical Inspection (two yearly roadworthiness test, like a UK MOT but probably easier) 

 

Thos videos. 
 

Short one: Just pulling the truck out. Me trying to be clever in editing. 
 

 

 

 

Long Video: Full edit out on the road. 
 

Hopefully you guys watch and enjoy it. 
 


 

 

Some photos added.

16 days.?? That went quick with minimal updates. Thought you’d run off with Kelly never to be seen again!

Hopefully driving the pickup will give you additional motivation towards completing yours.

I don’t know if people actually realise how much time goes into photography filming and editing. 
I decided to actually have my own holiday this year. 
Loads of footage to process still. 
 

 

Kelly……?? 

Naaahhh she is happily married. 

Would be bloody high maintenance 

 

So as an alternative, have Jody. 

At 60…….😍

Just how good does she look. 

Meet her once, you will be in love 😍
