Randy, what are the rules regarding driving a car across country that hasn't been registered yet?

Noisycow · 04-18-2009, 12:10 PM

Absolute fantasy road trip. What a way to live. Safe journey! You are going to be assaulted by every idiot on the road with cell cameras and such. I'd be the worst idiot .....

Ah Hotlanta, LOG ?? I swap my M100 for a turbo Esprit for the ride back to the hotel after a tour of the Panos factory. It’s my first time driving an Esprit. 90 mph in the middle lane, a white SUV with a windshield almost opaque due to cracks is tailgating me. What’s not to love about Atlanta traffic?

On the other hand our 1967 Elan overheats in stop-and-go traffic. A big guy on a big V8 powered bike stops and offers to help. He hangs with us until the car cools and the traffic dies down. What’s not to love about Atlanta people.

We will probably not get to the dragon until late Tuesday so we may not see you there.

It will be an awesome trip

have fun.

I believe Randy's Q1 was on SuperCars Exposed tonight. There was a line of cars (about 4) and one was orange with black (or dark gray) stripes. Episode 23, air date 20 August 2009. Tanner did a short piece on the Q1...they looked great.

I know I need to go to Cali DMV and get a temp registration to drive it.

Randy Chase · 04-21-2009, 09:44 AM

By the way, I am now merging this trip into a Guy Fieri tribute. I intend on stopping at various places portrayed on the Food Network show, Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives.

I learned about Quaker Steak and Lube and Primanti Bros from Man v. Food (I stopped at both on my trip to Michigan last week).

Guy co-owns Johnny Garlic's in Santa Rosa (which is a couple towns north of me)

Never said I liked the show.

It does have its merits when Top Gear is on a break...

Randy Chase · 05-07-2009, 09:30 AM

Bump, less than three weeks away.

If you are in Orlando, Birmingham, Deal's Gap, Louisville, Chicago, St Louis, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Albuquerque, or Santa Monica.... let me know if you want to meet up. Or anywhere along Route 66.

Moto44 · 05-07-2009, 10:11 AM

I'll be seeing you in Birmingham, Deal's Gap, and Chicago. The only other group I followed around like this was Van Halen.

Do you have any idea or plan as to what time you be in Santa Monica?

xxxotic · 05-07-2009, 01:37 PM

Randy,

If you get stuck or your flight comes in late and you dont want to drive all the way to Orlando that night let me know and you can crash at my house and leave in the morning.
I am about 1/2 an hour north of Rossion

Probably early afternoon. I will leave Laughlin/Bullhead City in the morning.

Cool. I may take you up on that. I enjoyed staying with people on my Lotus roadtrip more than staying at hotels.

Hmmm Because if it were in the morning you could do the Sunday drive with us. Do you want me to put together a lunch meet? or do you just want to blaze through?

Randy Chase · 05-07-2009, 05:32 PM

Mmm.... lunch meat....

I would not put anything formal together as I am not that sure about the exact time I will be doing anything.

I fully intend on bringing the car up to LA and to Cars and Coffee
