    Johnny! This is so funny! I could not have envisioned going to the Grand Canyon in my AH Sprite. And it would have been an unimaginable trip going to the Grand Canyon in my Alfa Romeo spyder. The last trip i drove it on the weather rained and water was coming in everywhere. the weather was cold and so I wore construction leather gloves. I am now toying with buying a miazbuchi spyder and do not know what a road trip would be like in that one. I am a private pilot and had not taken a cross country before i stopped flying the Cessna 152 I was certified in. My imagination explodes! Grand Canyon Baby! Thanks

      Thanks Paul,
      Really appreciate your comments. I like to think I have that pioneering instinct that if the wheels fall off, we'll get there somehow. I think my Kentucky friend Jim, has a similar view, however others might see us as a couple of foolish old men.... a country bumpkin from Norfolk UK and a Hillbilly.
      Certainly was a trip that proved to me these old buses can do more than most folk realise (not however, in comfort though not a vehicle for those liking luxury lol).
      Inspired me to taken a 1500 mile trip to the Scottish Highlands and back in my 1964, this last summer, in fact one of the first things I did when I got home was to book my Midget into a show at Brodie Castle near Elgin, Scotland.
      A flight over Grand Canyon in your aircraft now that would be something Paul.
      All the best and enjoy those cars in whatever way gives you the most smiles
      Johnny 👍

      Johnny. I just realized your trip is like the tv show here in the states called Route 66! Except a better theme song for the show is one by John Coltrane. as you add songs to your road trips (and I like your selection of music for them) I suggest you listen to his. Thanks again Buddy. Say hi to Jim!

    In a Midget! What fun, and an authentic way to see Route 66. Enjoyed the adventure. I have signed-up for your channel and hope you will return the courtesy. Best of luck with the remainder of your journey.🚗

      Will do as soon as I stop writing this. Many thanks for your kind comments. Too old fools in an open top MG Midget what could be better and what possibly could have gone wrong 😅👍
