Tricked ya!
Hmmm who's that in that piece of $H!t Aussie Charger?
We've got pictures..... I'll post more laterz because I'm supposed to be in bed because we have a certain Daytona to pick up early in the morning and then we're heading to Vegas and I'll be driving the Falcon. I can't wait to drive the Daytona....
What's really kewl is that I had NO problems driving a right hand drive car. I took to it like a duck to water. I'm left handed though so I'm used to doing most things backwards. Kinda wierd having your turn signals on the right side of the wheel, your shifter on the left side of you, your windshield wipers backwards etc etc etc. Kinda neat though too. What's really fun is when Mark will put his hands out the window while I'm driving and freak people out because they think he's not paying attention while driving. it's pretty fun. We will post more pics tomorrow, I'm too lazy to do that now.....

Oh ya I'm being real good..... hrmmmmm
Okay, and now for some more photos...
Look at this monstrosity we found in our hotel parking lot here in good ol' Orange County. (Gawd I love that movie) Anywayz, it's like a van that's caulked in this wierd like orange color with all sorts of crazy stuff like fish heads, eye balls, stained glass port hole windows etc.
This thing is a piece of work. I give it an A for imagination that's for sure.
We went to this place called Midieval Times and it was pretty kick ass. Here is a horse from that show..
We're all having a great time just hanging out, talking cars, and ummm I even got the boys to go to a strip bar with me...... Badass. I'm trying not to be a bad infulence but that wouldn't be any fun would it?
It's 8:47 in the AM here in Sunny California but it's not so sunny just yet. We are out to get some breakfast and then we are going out to accomplish our main objective which is to go get that beautiful 440 Aussie Daytona Charger. I will post more pictures tonight after we get to Vegas. Wish us luck and thanks for virtually coming along with us during our trip.
Peace,
DG

Wow... so the black cat's out of the proverbial bag, eh? DG, John and Marcus doing the insane road trip together . Wow. John's gonna' come back a man from this one. Ha ha! Actually, he's got WAY more real "road miles" than I probably ever will, but to do such a venture in THOSE wild cars with Dart Girl !... all I can say is "WOW!". The pix are fantastic, keep them coming! Hey DG... are all those western US people "ok" with your dungeon gothic garb? Heck, I suppose it isn't like anything they haven't seen before! Wish I could be there for the fun. And it just aint fair that you get to drive the Daytona before *I* do! I'm gonna' be doing some wrenching on it, but I suppose since you made the journey out yonder, it's only appropriate that you get first dibs. Take care you guys, and keep us all posted! Dale

Update !!!
Ok everybody.. it's been a long day here, but I finally got some time for pics! As I type this, John, DartGirl, and Mark are on thier way to Vegas. We did not get as much time as we hoped to do stuff around here, but things happen..
Now for some pics of my own !!
Now.. the wing had to come off the car when it was loaded for room, and we did not have time to put it on when it was unloaded..so the drive home was wingless The car did look a little strange.. Here is a pic sitting in traffic on the way home..
Mark was driving the Daytona.. DG and John were in the RHD C10 I had in the container, my buddy from Oz; Peter was in the ute that came in the container, and I was following behind in my truck..
Here is DG in all her glory, driving a Chevy
We finally made it back to my house, unloaded all my stuff that was in the Daytona, and bolted on the wing...
And, here is a group shot of the gang !!
On the left is Mark, next to him is John, then DG of course and yours truly on the right
And of course you can't have a wing car without the girl sitting on the wing can you??
DG took a bunch of pics as we were actually unloading the car from the container (which took a while, due to how low and long it is..) And I am sure she'll post some once they stop somewhere (in the morning hopefully..)
I have more pics too drving around and such, but this is a taste at least for now...
Hope everyone likes the adventure so far, and it's only getting started!
