Great write up Jude, kept me glued and loved the photos.

Gotta take my hat off to you for having the guts to do it.

I'd love to do it but just struggle with time.

Do enjoy touring the states but thats normally in some modern no feel car.

Keep us posted on how the cars coming along

Fantastic tale!

PS - Jude, got your message just too late to do anything for last issue. Will be in touch...

Thanks everyone, for the lovely comments, & for taking an interest!!!

It was a unique experience, & still makes me chuckle when I think of some aspects of what may be described as a bit of lunacy......

I'm down in Northern Italy now, hooning around, scaring a few of the locals & itching to get up into the Alps to take full advantage of the driving. I'll keep you posted with pics & words (only this time, more regularly)

Also, I'll post the developments of Gloria's new engine, another Neil Bainbridge project - it's going to be a good one

Bootsy..... I still haven't got a DDK sticker

Ciao, until the next thread......

Did send one Jude, pm me your new address and I'll send another out.

Great story Jude, top trip, really envious.

And you're right, f*** it and move on is a really good life philosphy...

Thx for sharing it with us. I got to see Gloria @ Mike M's unveiling at Neil's. She's a great looking car, you obviously bought a good-un there.

Rumour is you asked for 'something gnarly' to be put in the back. Now that's a cool brief!

I've just read this from start to finish, having seen it referred to on another thread (thanks, Darren)

Wonderfully entertaining Jude.
I haven't laid eyes on the car I bought a year ago yet that is a few hundred miles from me & the resto's still not finished. Reading this makes me look forward even more.
