I'll start saving right now. All I have to do is stop spending all of my
disposable income (and some that really isn't disposable) on Car Too. Or
is it Khartu???
At any rate, this suggestion is very excellent.
BTW, a few years back, our local Triumph club planned a trip to England
for the Donnington Park Historics and then through the country to
Jag-you-are and Aston Martin and Morgan and so forth with stops at
castles etc. and the Auto Juble at Beaulieu (Bew-ley).., the trip fell
through, but yours truly and now-x-wife made the journey on our own. The
wife left me immediately afterward (her loss), but I had a blast on that
trip. I can't wait to go back to England! The events that I mention are
later in the summer, ostensibly around Labor Day in the 'States, and they
are "way kool". Actually, never made it to Bewley - but I'll be it's a hoot.
And I know some pretty neat roads over there - even if the rentals, er
hires, are econoboxes.
