We challenge anyone to watch any of these vlogs and not smile all the way through, it is just utterly joyous to watch Simon! Hope you are keeping well out there, stay safe ❤
The Space Cowboy !! 🤠 Loved the old Locomotives 🚂. Those old bridges bring me back too …. Lots of rivers to cross 🤘🤘. Glad to see you finally broke out the Beaver Nuggets …. My stepdad works at Buc-ees in Daytona Beach Florida 😎. “Jagen- or whatever the Fuck it’s called -Shnitzal“ 🤣🤣🤣… OK … 11 videos in one day…. I gotta sleep 🤣. Trying to knock these out before Vegas on Friday 🤘🍺 🎰
Was expecting a verbal “Moo!” at the beginning, but I did it for you. Enjoyed the totems and fiddles, the blue whale all the way to the tail, and the giant Buck. Sorry the Tiki Man didn’t pop out for a bonus. We’ve gone to Oklahoma the past several years, but only get as far as the casino up the road from Plano, TX where we visit family. There is a Buc-ee’s along the way. Gotta load up on the Beaver Nuggets. That gravy did have a different shade of brown. Almost resembled chocolate. Probably would fit in with one of the motel rooms. So driving without your seatbelt on and running stop lights in Stroud. You’re fitting in to American driving, but do be careful. Roll on, Simon!
Hey mate I love those old bridges . It’s amazing how the 66 looks like your driving through a movie set well it does from the eyes of a Londoner great job mate. How’s your weight going 😂 Phil painter
Wahooooooo That blue whale was massive.Its great though that they've looked after it & not let it rot away .That shop with no-one in there id of had a field day nicking things as a kid . Have a great day today mate
On catch up now after a hectic bank holiday, I’m going in 🤣🤣loving it Simon ❤️all the small places your getting to see is amazing, can tell this means a lot to you and really appreciate the daily vlogs and taking us along, we need a haul of all the t shirts and key rings you’ve bought along the way 🤣🤣🤣 bet the bed will be covered 🤣
Fantastic Vlog as usual Simon, being a south londoner I have to admit I did laugh when you talked about choreing in that shop where you paid in the restaurant.
I will take your word on that meal a couple have looked completely dodgy 😆 😂😅 yeah Brown is the international colour of Motel Rooms 😆 😂 I'm keenly following you dude keep it up
Catching up on the vlogs 😁. More fantastic adventures. I was shocked at that little souvenir shop that had no one in it and you pay for what your get at the restaurant 😮. Now that's a true honor system place.
Brown and clean, all good😁 Guy Fieri definitely got about on diners drive ins n dives! I used to enjoy that show. Almost half way from looking on the map, great stuff👍
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am envious of your trip love the fact you are driving the whole thing and taking your time doing it. Keep on trucking buddy.
It seemed Tulsa, OK, was the first Route 66 city/town that really highlighted the iconic roadway! And don't think switching from white to brown gravy is calorie counting, lol..See you in the morning, mate!
Simon I am absolutely hooked. Until I saw these vlogs I had no interest, today I have been researching route 66 costs and logistics. Loving this series.
Another great vid. Would love to hear an update on the big picture of the trip - are you on the schedule you planned, are you making as far as you hoped each day, when you hope to make it to California, etc. Enjoying it!
Just found this Simon. Nice. Good to hear a South Londoner on vlog for a change! We are doing this trip next year so I am planning it based on all the vloggers I have discovered on TH-cam. Yours is very interesting so I will follow now. Cheers mate!!
I absolutely love all the wee towns you drive through .you have definitely saw some weird and wonderful things .glad you got sorted for a nice hotel 😊 unlucky in the casino.hope your luck is better in Vegas 🤞
I’m guessing you are now about 24 hrs from Tulsa😀 Interesting places in this section. Favourite shot of the day has to be that robot in the shop😎 I spotted a couple of double jackpot 7 machines in the casino. At least they are still about,just not in Vegas( They are Lorraine’s favourite slot machines)
Another great one, thanks Simon. The honour system in the gift shop was a lovely thing to see. You mentioned that you spent a lot of time driving that day. Any chance of giving us daily updates of miles driven each day?
Wow that gravy looked naughty 😂 Have you thought about riding the train from Williams to the Grand Canyon South Rim. It’s an old train that runs early morning from Williams to the rim and returns you Williams for the evening. We did it in early 2020. We are heading back to Williams in two weeks it’s definitely worth a visit, just thought it may interest you as it seems you like old transport mucker🤔
I hope you are getting out and doing the bounce test on those bridges before you drive across😅.. some look a little sketchy . Its also funny how half the shops are abandoned. Great job , keep em comin' 👏
Another great day Simon So much to see Forgot to ask you my last comment , how did you ever get that turtle off the road or did you ? See ya tomorrow ❤
Been watching you from the start Planning on driving the whole Route66 in 2026 we are really enjoying the stops you make Taking notes Thank you for sharing your journey
Hahahaha I thought I recognised you from back in the day on Police Five with Shaw Taylor, it was you choreing that day in Lewisham!!! It's great that they still use the "honesty" system can you imagine that back home....
I’ve already commented but had to share, I told you we’d recommended your vlog to my daughter and husband and they’ve been binge watching them. They’ve tonight popped out to a local pub for a drink which is a complete rarity due to certain health issues, and my daughter said her husband turned around and said ‘oh we’ve got Simon to watch when we get back’ 😀
Bonjour again from France Simon . Facinating seeing backstreet America, well done mate , really interesting . Best vlogs I've seen for ages . Amazing stuff.
Absolutely loved this vlog, wasn’t surprised you didn’t stay in Tulsa, it looked much more built up than other places we’ve seen so far. As I’ve said before, apart from loving the content, the fact you make us chuckle every evening is priceless. Thank you
Brilliant vlog again Simon, were loving every minute of your journey, its Excellent entertainment, it really is 👌 Out of interest, is your motor diesel or petrol and how much is a gallon of fuel over there !
I travel with you virtually, thank you for this great experience! By the way, "cafe" is pronounced like "caffay". Too bad you lost 100$ in the slots, but maybe you'll make it up in Vegas!
another gem, thank you for posting. How long does it take for you to edit one video? asking as your pace of posting must be exhausting. when do you sleep? drive?
Depends where your from .. for working class people in south london it would always be Caff... in the more upmarket areas maybe cafeee!!! Thanks for watching 😁🇬🇧👍
Those are type 2 slot machines Las Vegas has type 3 slot machines. Thats why you won't see them in Las Vegas. Also "cafe" is pronounced caf-a As in pronouncing the first letter of the alphabet "A" So enjoy your videos. Have been to Texas abd Oklahoma on Route 66. Now live a little ways from Route 66, near Victorville CA
What an amazing attraction the blue whale is totally surreal another fantastic episode 👍
