grizz Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 There are two 34 Ford videos left that I struggled to upload. This one from Ellis to Kansas City. https://youtu.be/u3vm4QgDPTk?si=AaHxjdJc7O9T5RMM One more to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizz Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Bit of bouncing around on timelines here due to lack of internet etc. Remember how hot it was when I came on Thursday, by Sunday the weather had at last broken the heat wave, with rain dropping the outside temperature by 30’F Much more bearable. Dennis likes stainless steel fasteners, and sometimes two trips as day to different hardware shops happens as progress comes. So, working on the Chevelle meant we went out twice…… But despite the current spaghetti of wires, pipes etc, we started it up. And a video of last Sunday. https://youtu.be/S6rUHv7ECiM?si=qEL4LkYsOzlTGKgJ Off to St Louis today to watch a baseball game Not sure how I feel about that.

grizz Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Road Trip stuff….. Sunday was Baseball day for the whole extended family. Never been to a game. Interesting. But before that, I got to chat to Andy, a racing friend of Adam. He is busy training his 8 year old son in a scientific way to drive sprint cars. This sort of dedication and drive always amazes me over here. Everything he does is for Ryder’s racing career. Neat truck too…… video to follow. Well……. Video loaded fast. https://youtu.be/ISvar3LNsPI?si=-WZog15LBJEDsJOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizz Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Another bit of typical American style. Home built. And registered as a pistol. Also licensed for personal carrying in public. Unless you are part of it, you,will never understand. I tend to accept it as part of a country of extremes. Miles of anti-abortion billboards, repent and live, and many other themes….. Then open and concealed carry laws. Still love this place. https://youtu.be/Yfcr4EmtB7M?si=CmMSzKnPpniTxUwl . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_Green Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Just back from the same sort of road trip with da fam. Shooting guns and rifles; riding around in the back of a pick-up; Bluegrass concert in a replica Western town; eating at Waffle Houses; Cracker Barrels; Chick Fil-As; Raising Canes etc. Also golf at Pinehurst and did the Washington DC sights and colonial Virginia. My hire car Camry* (*or similar) turned to be a cool grey Jeep Wrangler! Have some images of a car show in Williamsburg and some other US car stuff: Jenson Velcro, MiniMinorMk3, mk2_craig and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenson Velcro Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 That has gone really fast. Sorry to hear about the job though, and to do it whilst you are away on holiday absolutely stinks. Looking from the outside, you have to be better off in the long term away from that environment. The way you have been treated for the past few years is appalling, and I’m sure your skill set and personality will soon find another job. You’ll then quickly look back and wish you made the change ages ago. Onwards and upwards. grizz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizz Posted Tuesday at 05:32 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:32 PM And at last….. Loaded. A collage video I have put together of Tom’s work in Kansas where Dennis and I visited for Dinner. Hope you enjoy. He is a migrant worker in the USA and we have no real clue as to how hard or long his days are, but I admire his resilience. Romanticised here. During harvest season this is his typical two week period, NOTE: 13 days in this case. Hardcore work. https://youtu.be/nWFtEFTiOew?si=RXKJFKfARXiX-j1j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizz Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Still on the USA road trip, reporting all of it in one place on Retrorides. Andy is like kid who loves to share his toys. So at some point it was inevitable that he would be letting me drive his new truck, already 22k miles of work on it. https://youtu.be/I0cUpFN4pe4?si=6d5C2htzyjldPMve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
