Most dads don't make videos to earn their income to be able to do things like this with their kids .... and are "dicks" because they work their life away to provide for unnapreciative little pricks as yourselves ..... and probably gets no action from mommy dearest anymore ... gotta look at things for what they are ... maybe your dad's aren't really dicks.... maybe they are just tired and worn down from years of making a hard living... not making thousands and thousands of dollars making little videos .....
You know this is a trip that JD will remember fondly for the rest of his life. He's going to have some stories about his old man that no one is gonna believe. Good thing you documented it all lol. Love what you're doing, and how you're doing it!
Ok so, after seeing a couple of shots of people looking at the car at red lights. Maybe pick up a pair of those glasses with cameras build in (or two), then you and JD take a much shorter road trip and just record the looks on people's faces. I'm fairly certain, there have been some good ones.
TWO THOUSAND MILES. Two thousand miles, In just a few days, With two thousand holes, Shining two thousand rays. The Holey Goat. Resurrected from dead, With no hammer too big, With two pairs of eyes, They aint needing no jig. The Holey Goat. Well that car did them proud, Back to where it was born, Not a breakdown in sight, Bar the odd belt was torn. The Holey Goat. Local temperatures high, Air con on delete, Them highly strung wipers, Would just bat off that sleet. The Holey Goat. The soundtrack was rocking, Just schmoozing them miles, Wernt nothing on earth, Could of upset there smiles. The Holey Goat. Good memories made, A road trip to gloat, For The Father, The Son, And The Holey Goat! 😎
That there's one heck of a story rhyme, Mr Billy Bob. Pert near got me to wellin' up inside! I betcha that would make a hell of a good country song...ballad even! 😁
@@Rev.Clarence And the Judge on that day, Locked his dear Pa away, It was the end of the line, Over some speeding fine. Well that boy get's to crying, His Pa's heart now dying, Surely bin some mistaking, Them years now forsaken. Well that car copped the hump, Thought that canyon it'd jump, Turns out it don't float, No more Holey Goat . . . There's the country version Andy!!. Thanks for the compliment. Smile on 😎
This was awesome!!! My nephew and I just got back from a 2000 mile trip from Maryland to Texas to buy a truck then drove it to Florida to my 80 year old dad’s house to bring home his motorcycles in the back of the truck to Maryland that took 6 days. It was hotter then you know what and long but I’d do it again in a heartbeat!!!💪🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏻🤣🙏🏻❤️
What a Road Trip 😳 You and JD had so Much Fun and The Road Warrior Holey Goat. I think it belongs in Roswell. It's outa this World 🌎 Great Memories.For you boys 👦
Bro, I came on board through the Junkyard Digs episode. Now I'm watching all your past episodes. Great content and editing. It is so cool to have your son in tow! Keep up the great work, I wish you much success!!
It just doesn't get any better than this,at 35 mins in to see that cactus going home was one of the most touching YT moments i've ever seen,i watched the whole Holey Goat series just this week pretty much back to back and i loved every episode,Dude,you're an absolute legend,the Goat deserves to be back where it belongs,it couldn't have been done by anyone better 🙂 looking forward to more now.🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
That was a trip of a lifetime. JD will have plenty if things to tell his family when he is older. Those are the best trips. My son and I took a random trip on Route 66 from California to Oklahoma last November. We had the best time doing it. Now we are planning the trip all of the way from Los Angeles to Chicago next year. Can't wait. Loved the old drive-in that you stopped at. That was an amazing find.
Love that you're doing this with JD. Just think of the memories he's going to have road tripping and wrenching with his dad! Awesome job, keep up the great work!
You sir and JD just defined every splinter and spare part of Power Tour... Cant say enough about the respect your son has for you!! And the fact he loves you as much!! Y'all have produced a lifetime of memories that I'll live by....and that we can live by...💪
Great video, great trip, great example of what is possible when you take something that looks impossible and ignore the naysayers and set goals and reach them one step at a time, very inspiring! I love Pontiacs so it makes it even better
What an awesome trip! Congratulations on a successful journey and planting of the cactus. That abandoned Chevron was pretty cool! Would love to find out the scoop on the wagon
I've been watching VGG, JYD, and the gang for 5 years now. This and every episode leading up to it takes the cake for me. The end says it all. Great job man. You and your son was shining so bright in my eyes. Love you guys at PBG.
Thanks for taking me through the United States I've never seen before. The train is very similar up here in Canada . Alberta Saskatchewan in Manitoba very similar. You don't see a lot of old buildings in relics like you do in your country. I really like the windshield wiper contraption.. Did you say that engine came out of a 69 Pontiac?. Anyway ,,,, thanks again for bringing me along.. great to see you and your son together sharing each other's time.
Thank god for the guy that invented self tapping sheet metal screws! Without him that FULL SEND adventure would have been much harder! I always knew you'd make it to Texas & back, your training as a STOCK CAR racer prepared you well!
Jd will never forget this voyage and he will tell his family of his own someday what journey that he did with his dad driving a holygoat this is the best voyage video pole car garage 👍👍👍😎😎💯
An old car , a Dad and a Son best trips ever. Went from Arkansas to South Dakota in a 65 Impala SS 3 times with my son, best trips I ever had! Old cars bring people together something special about it.
I know this is an older video… but Dalton, we need another road trip video with you and your son. My son just turned 2 and I hope someday I can make memories like this with him! Keep on rocking man!
Well aside from all the other things everybody else said about memories and such you must be proud that a POS that you built made it all that distance without any major problems. Congratulations to you both!
Best part of the whole trip, in my opinion, was watching JD having so much fun! Oh, and next time, cross your strings on the wipers! ie, driver pulls passengers side, and passenger pulls the drivers side! Done that alot, back in the day! Thanks for the cool trip!
20 minutes in. What an awesome trip so far. 🤘😎 BTW: next time you road trip down there and want traveling music, check out a dude named Ry Cooder. Some of his stuff really fits the bill. edit: that old drive in is creepy as heck. And so cool. edit edit: good advice - drive your shit! Thanks for taking us on that cool trip sir!
I'm 21 me to they were starting to go away right about the time I was in elementary school but they were a lot of fun but I also got heard of them which probably explains a couple lost brain cells lol
Couple things. First - apologies to Chris at NNKH. Found your channel after he stopped at your place with that Gran Torino. I went down a PBG rabbit hole and never came back. I play all these videos in my parts store during business hours. Second - JD's face when he was contemplating the dog food bacon jerky was priceless. Great video.
i dont "do"driving vids but between you two your adventures an the music i loved this trip,good onya dad you know he will never forget that roadtrip,and good onya young feller for lookin after ya dad,it cant have been easy!!but you got him home in one peice,again thanks for your time and energy!roll on!!
back in the day, what made that car stick out above all other was the tach in the hood, bro you gotta get the tach working, hope you all had fun enjoying the temps down here , farther south were im at is 104 today hahah , glad you and the boy are having fun , you only get one chance and this is you twos
I daily an old square body suburban. I drove it just shy of 20,000 miles, all over the country last year. Almost all road trip miles. Mountains, forests, deserts, swamps of the south, west coast to east coast. Mostly back roads, with miles and miles of dirt roads mixed in there too. Just get out there and explore. I’ve come across some pretty incredible places just out screwing around.
@@PoleBarnGarage Yea, but we know what they don’t. Sure you might need some tools, ya might have to fix a couple things along the way, but that’s part of the experience.
I drove by Cadillac Ranch before there was any spray paint on them. I didn't even stop was driving cross country. Still got the VT plates huh? Great trip with the Kid.
Okay, so this confirms there indeed was some Alien interaction on your trip. How else do you explain the HG’s ability to single handedly fix it’s own oil and temperature issues?
I just love watching these "dad and son" videos. JD is such a lucky lad, he is going to have so many amazing memories and so many fantastic tales to tell his kids. Dalton, you're an amazing dad and you're giving him an education that no school on earth could manage. Long may it continue.
I just spent my morning watching the video. Wrapping up the video saying the Holy Goat is bullet proof made me lol and put me in a good mood. Now I’m off to work. Glad y’all made it home safe.
So good to see you spending that pure quality time with your son! I love that and, of course, the fact that the goat took the trip like a walk in the park. You can really be proud of yourself! Please keep on being such an awesome father! The two of you definitely have built life lasting memories on that drive ✨
Looks like a fun trip. Howard's reaction to the Holey Goat was cool. Would've been better to get the forklift operator's reaction as well but whatever.
That look like a real great time you guys had. You're absolutely right, got a classic car take it out and enjoy it. Thanks for this awesome video I really loved it 👍☮️🇺🇲
Roswell should build a full size mockup of a big alien spacecraft. Like a large movie set. Nerds would be flocking there in all kinds of getups and running a 24/7 video shoot.
Kind of a boring video on the car side. We all knew that would be a damn good car ! Lol... I am kidding, glad that the Best $200 car, made all those great memories!!!! Awesome video! Glad you and your son where able to enjoy this AMERICAN made piece of history! The Goat is no joke!!!!
Very cool video the guy that shot it up was awsome and buddy all I can say is you are blessed with you’re son he is such a good kid and you are one of the very few real dads left. Love the videos keep them coming
Miles of smiles! I absolutely loved this episode! You’re one cool Dad, J.D. will always remember the adventures! Amazing the entire trip was uneventful mechanically… I had a lot of fun tagging along! I really enjoy you and J.D. doing car stuff/ Man stuff and look forward to more.
Fixing up a old beater & taking a road trip with your kids is a deeply American thing, my Dad did it with his Dad, we did it, I did it with my kids, my son does it with his & im training up my other granddaughters to do it with me, sucks seeing all the businesses like I went to in the 70’s are all gone now, beautiful things your doing my friend
A trip of Epic Proportions. JD is the Perfect Straight Man For your Jokes. I was riveted to my Chair and Even though I Needed a Bathroom Break I watched the whole Thing till the end. I'm still looking for a Car. Let me Know if you find something.
I remember my brother once driving back from Baltimore in heavy rain with no working wipers in his 67 Chevelle SS396. He told me he tied the laces from his sneakers to the wiper arms, pulled them back and forth while steering with his knees. Sounds about right for him. LOL Great trip JD will remember forever. Good job dad!
I’ll be a great road trip as everyone else’s mentioned. I’m surprise you had not contacted the folks ahead of time to let them know you were headed their direction. They sure probably will want to have seen it. Drive safe. 👽
I have driven from the southern most major city in my country to the northernmost in a car I flew down to the southern city to buy. I had my eldest daughter with me at the time (she had just turned 16) and we covered both islands in three days (including a 3-and-a-half hour trip on the ferry between them. Sounds like an epic trip? It was 1184 kilometres.....or 736 miles, so about a third of your trip....but our roads are narrower and have many hills and bends. The car I bought is a 1974 Triumph Stag, but we could not drive it with the top down as the optional hardtop was fitted....so we cooked a bit as the heater was stuck on hot. I'd driven it about 10 miles on a test drive and picked up that it had some serious maintenance to be done and there were a few dodgy bodge jobs that may let go on the way home, but bought it anyway....partly because I wanted to do the road trip up the country. Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was played so many times I lost count and I had just given up smoking..... The first thing I found out about was that the gearbox - the original Triumph 4-speed plus overdrive unit - had the oil retention characteristics of a colander. I found this out by way of the smell of burning gear oil in the cabin and looked underneath to see a small puddle form there every time we stopped. Fortunately it did not burst into flames (well, not on THAT trip, but that's a different story). I also had to jerry-rig up something to stop the speedo cable from lying on the hot exhaust, because that wasn't exactly ideal either. By the time we got to the top of the South Island, I was having to hold the clutch pedal up with my foot because the spring had broken, so I was upside down in the motel carpark with my head under the dash trying to rig a temporary fix with the remains of the spring when the car's horns started up on their own. Turned out the car had an alarm I didn't know about and I had bumped the switch...... She developed a misfire heading away from the ferry when we got to the North Island, but a quick clean of the points, plugs and inside the distributor cap sorted that. Unfortunately, it made us a bit late for arriving at our next destination and I had to do some night driving......out the back of beyond on a lesser-used highway with no street lights.....so it was DARK...and the headlights of the Stag were pointed at the ground 2 feet in front of the bumper - and that was on high beam. I had wondered why we were getting this constant smell of petrol through the car and how it was worse for a long time after I filled up. I had thought it had been because I had doused my shoes when we first filled it up, but was having a hard time believing that when it still ponged the second day. I saw why the next morning. The road we had been on the previous night was quite dusty and had coated the fuel that had been pouring down the right hand side of the car from the filler cap with a light dusting, leaving a rather tell-tale stream mark down the side and all the way to the rear of the right rear quarter, No wonder I was getting such crap mpg - I figured quarter of the tank was emptying out the filler cap! I ran her from half a tank down from then on and bought a two gallon jug of fuel just in case I was caught short. From there to home (about 250 miles) was uneventful in the sense that nothing else went wrong but I cannot honestly say that what DID go wrong caused us any real or imagined trauma. It was a lot of fun, there was a V8 soundtrack and classic tunes. We saw things that neither of us had ever seen, followed (and were followed by) other classic cars - British and US - and had discussions on all manner of topics, so learned a lot from and about each other. The Stag has gone on to cost me more money than I paid for it five years ago to get it to pretty much the same as it was when I bought it, but as well as causing me many headaches, the car has also given me a lot of enjoyment.....as it has also done with the rest of my little family when they've ridden in it with me. Many memories have been had in that 48-year-old, tired but still giving it her all classic and to be honest, I would not swap those memories for anything in the world. I cannot take money with me when I go past my expiry date, so why not have some fun with it if I can? Money is a tool to get you what you need. I needed to ease my soul and get back to driving something I enjoyed and the Stag has given me that. Tomorrow, I will take her on her weekly run of around 80 miles through the countryside, past beaches and through hills and long straights near my home. Sometimes she gets an outing several times a week or I use her as my daily for a couple of weeks or so, but she does get the minimum 80 mile run. Hopefully it will not be raining and I can put the top down, but if not, I am sure I will still enjoy her sure-footedness in the corners and the sound of the rumble through the car as she moves along. By the way - if you ever come to New Zealand, be warned that if you have kids with you in the car, you are not allowed to smoke. Yep - the nanny-state tree-huggers and do-gooders banned it a few years ago, much to my chagrin and soapbox ranting against it. They said it was to stop kids being "victims of their parents' filthy habits" and "to avoid the health issues associated with second hand smoke" That wouldn't be a problem in the Goat - only a convertible would allow more airflow than that beast! Not railing on smokers, mate - just giving you the good oil. I've been smoke free since I bought the Stag......but I still vape!
I was really looking forward to watching you guys road trip video after you got back & you didn’t disappoint!! 😁👍🏻 In exactly 2 weeks from today, we are road tripping it from NC to Galveston, TX & watching you guys video is making me look forward to our trip even more!! 🤗😎👍🏻
Yes you are The King ,taking your boy on a road trip in a car most people wouldn't leave their driveway with is awesome.I bet he will never forget it .Cars are about the story of where it came from and what it took to get it there.Ride on brother Ride on.Good luck to you and J D.
My home in Arizona is right on the historic route 66 and this St. Paddy's Day brought a lot of sightseers passing by with blue skies and high sixties ever pleasant sans the notorious wind. My '03 Tundra and daily driver 2013 Cry Me a River 200 both baking and soaking up the sun's UV rays.
Congrats on the trip and I was happy you didnt have happen to you what sleeperdude went through with the motorhome bit. You are both safe and sound and I will bet your better half feels better you guys made it without a hiccup.
JD is lucky to have a dad like you. And your lucky to have such a cool kid like JD! Great video guys!
I totally agree, this was a wonderful adventure for father and son
I have to agree! I wish my dad was was cool with him! My dad was a dick!
Perfectly said
was gonna say that hes a lucky kid to get to go on an adventure with his dad thats just a great dad right there
Most dads don't make videos to earn their income to be able to do things like this with their kids .... and are "dicks" because they work their life away to provide for unnapreciative little pricks as yourselves ..... and probably gets no action from mommy dearest anymore ... gotta look at things for what they are ... maybe your dad's aren't really dicks.... maybe they are just tired and worn down from years of making a hard living... not making thousands and thousands of dollars making little videos .....
There was another famed car that healed itself as it drove. They called it Christine.
You know this is a trip that JD will remember fondly for the rest of his life. He's going to have some stories about his old man that no one is gonna believe. Good thing you documented it all lol.
Love what you're doing, and how you're doing it!
Thanks! Yeah, at least he'll have proof!
@@PoleBarnGarage You're a good father. This is the type of stuff that really molds a young a boy into a man.
This was probably the best year of that car’s long life….thanks for sharing it with us!
Love you took your boy on that trip.
He will remember it for the rest of his life.
Hopefully he'll pass it along
So apocalyptic yet so peaceful, the shot-up GTO and the dilapidated drive-in reunited.
Ok so, after seeing a couple of shots of people looking at the car at red lights. Maybe pick up a pair of those glasses with cameras build in (or two), then you and JD take a much shorter road trip and just record the looks on people's faces. I'm fairly certain, there have been some good ones.
TWO THOUSAND MILES.
Two thousand miles,
In just a few days,
With two thousand holes,
Shining two thousand rays.
The Holey Goat.
Resurrected from dead,
With no hammer too big,
With two pairs of eyes,
They aint needing no jig.
The Holey Goat.
Well that car did them proud,
Back to where it was born,
Not a breakdown in sight,
Bar the odd belt was torn.
The Holey Goat.
Local temperatures high,
Air con on delete,
Them highly strung wipers,
Would just bat off that sleet.
The Holey Goat.
The soundtrack was rocking,
Just schmoozing them miles,
Wernt nothing on earth,
Could of upset there smiles.
The Holey Goat.
Good memories made,
A road trip to gloat,
For The Father, The Son,
And The Holey Goat! 😎
Good job, Billy Bob!
See, I can rhyme too.
You wrote an awesome poem,
for these two. 😁😁😁
Thanks Bryan 😎
That there's one heck of a story rhyme, Mr Billy Bob. Pert near got me to wellin' up inside! I betcha that would make a hell of a good country song...ballad even! 😁
@@Rev.Clarence
And the Judge on that day,
Locked his dear Pa away,
It was the end of the line,
Over some speeding fine.
Well that boy get's to crying,
His Pa's heart now dying,
Surely bin some mistaking,
Them years now forsaken.
Well that car copped the hump,
Thought that canyon it'd jump,
Turns out it don't float,
No more Holey Goat . . .
There's the country version Andy!!.
Thanks for the compliment. Smile on 😎
Awesome
Awesome. Making memories with your kid is what hobbies are all about.
Thanks for putting me on the channel.
No prob!
Great trip, brought back memories living in Texas 50+ years ago. The message at the end is spot on - cars really are for driving.
It's very cool you took this fun trip with J D your a Great DAD HE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS TIME AND FUN YOU HAD ON THE HOLY GOAT TRIP
This was awesome!!!
My nephew and I just got back from a 2000 mile trip from Maryland to Texas to buy a truck then drove it to Florida to my 80 year old dad’s house to bring home his motorcycles in the back of the truck to Maryland that took 6 days. It was hotter then you know what and long but I’d do it again in a heartbeat!!!💪🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏻🤣🙏🏻❤️
Sounds awesome , and now you have a bike, too.
What a Road Trip 😳 You and JD had so Much Fun and The Road Warrior Holey Goat.
I think it belongs in Roswell. It's outa this World 🌎 Great Memories.For you boys 👦
This car doesn't want to die just look at how many bullets holes she took in her long live the holy goat
How am I supposed to get any work done now that I just have to watch this!! 😆
That abandoned drive-in is just way too cool. Love it.

Despite all the issues the car made it back that is the legendary holey goat.
Gets the bacon strips. “This taste just like dog food.” - Immediately hands some to JD. 😂😂
Best part of the whole trip, in my opinion, was watching JD having so much fun!
Oh, and next time, cross your strings on the wipers!
ie, driver pulls passengers side, and passenger pulls the drivers side!
Done that alot, back in the day!
Thanks for the cool trip!
Good call
Looked like an amazing family trip thanks for taking us along. I love the clip of him shooting the car 🤣
20 minutes in. What an awesome trip so far. 🤘😎 BTW: next time you road trip down there and want traveling music, check out a dude named Ry Cooder. Some of his stuff really fits the bill.

Absolutely epic road trip. My favourite thing to do with an old car is road trips.
Nice trip. I love road trip videos, especially with the kids. There’s always a let down when you get home, but the memory lasts forever.
No kidding! I'm just now getting over it
I daily an old square body suburban.

Okay, so this confirms there indeed was some Alien interaction on your trip. How else do you explain the HG’s ability to single handedly fix it’s own oil and temperature issues?
And weather control obviously
This was one awesome adventure, father and son doing what they like.
I just love watching these "dad and son" videos. JD is such a lucky lad, he is going to have so many amazing memories and so many fantastic tales to tell his kids. Dalton, you're an amazing dad and you're giving him an education that no school on earth could manage. Long may it continue.
I just spent my morning watching the video. Wrapping up the video saying the Holy Goat is bullet proof made me lol and put me in a good mood. Now I’m off to work. Glad y’all made it home safe.
So good to see you spending that pure quality time with your son! I love that and, of course, the fact that the goat took the trip like a walk in the park. You can really be proud of yourself! Please keep on being such an awesome father! The two of you definitely have built life lasting memories on that drive ✨
What an awesome road trip! I love that car!
I believe we need to bring back ALL the drive in theaters, I loved going to the drive in!!!
Digital projectors are pricey!
Real life father/son shenanigans, an unforgettable journey/life story. Memories for your eternity, thanks for the ride a long
Thanks for watching!
Looks like a fun trip. Howard's reaction to the Holey Goat was cool. Would've been better to get the forklift operator's reaction as well but whatever.
I know, but he was just some guy working there
That look like a real great time you guys had. You're absolutely right, got a classic car take it out and enjoy it. Thanks for this awesome video I really loved it 👍☮️🇺🇲
Roswell should build a full size mockup of a big alien spacecraft. Like a large movie set.
Nerds would be flocking there in all kinds of getups and running a 24/7 video shoot.
Pretty awsome, the old goat made her all tgat way without any real issues. He'll of a build Dalton. Glad to see you and JD out enjoying that machine
grate job it made it it look like fun you and jd look like you had fun
"you've tasted dog food?" "well, yeah" LOL best conversation of the whole trip
Kind of a boring video on the car side. We all knew that would be a damn good car ! Lol... I am kidding, glad that the Best $200 car, made all those great memories!!!! Awesome video! Glad you and your son where able to enjoy this AMERICAN made piece of history! The Goat is no joke!!!!
Pretty much what I said, I mean, it's a Pontiac 🤷 those who know, know
Very true! My Pontiac Lemans GT-37, was $312 ,bought from a junkyard in N.C!
Very cool video the guy that shot it up was awsome and buddy all I can say is you are blessed with you’re son he is such a good kid and you are one of the very few real dads left. Love the videos keep them coming
Miles of smiles! I absolutely loved this episode! You’re one cool Dad, J.D. will always remember the adventures!
Amazing the entire trip was uneventful mechanically… I had a lot of fun tagging along!
I really enjoy you and J.D. doing car stuff/ Man stuff and look forward to more.
Thank you!
Rain-x, who needs stinking wipers. It's not the destination it's the journey. Nice job boys!
Fixing up a old beater & taking a road trip with your kids is a deeply American thing, my Dad did it with his Dad, we did it, I did it with my kids, my son does it with his & im training up my other granddaughters to do it with me, sucks seeing all the businesses like I went to in the 70’s are all gone now, beautiful things your doing my friend
A trip of Epic Proportions. JD is the Perfect Straight Man For your Jokes. I was riveted to my Chair and Even though I Needed a Bathroom Break I watched the whole Thing till the end. I'm still looking for a Car. Let me Know if you find something.
Have lightly used Mercury grand Marquis
Yeah, I've seen the video of how "Lightly Used" that Grand Marquis is.
Great memories with your son. Keep it up. Love the content
Thank you!
Making memories with your son. He will remember this trip forever.
I remember my brother once driving back from Baltimore in heavy rain with no working wipers in his 67 Chevelle SS396. He told me he tied the laces from his sneakers to the wiper arms, pulled them back and forth while steering with his knees. Sounds about right for him. LOL Great trip JD will remember forever. Good job dad!
Bullet Resistant!!
I’ll be a great road trip as everyone else’s mentioned. I’m surprise you had not contacted the folks ahead of time to let them know you were headed their direction. They sure probably will want to have seen it. Drive safe. 👽
It's in there, unless you mean the ranch itself. It was sold at the same auction
I have driven from the southern most major city in my country to the northernmost in a car I flew down to the southern city to buy. I had my eldest daughter with me at the time (she had just turned 16) and we covered both islands in three days (including a 3-and-a-half hour trip on the ferry between them. Sounds like an epic trip? It was 1184 kilometres.....or 736 miles, so about a third of your trip....but our roads are narrower and have many hills and bends. The car I bought is a 1974 Triumph Stag, but we could not drive it with the top down as the optional hardtop was fitted....so we cooked a bit as the heater was stuck on hot. I'd driven it about 10 miles on a test drive and picked up that it had some serious maintenance to be done and there were a few dodgy bodge jobs that may let go on the way home, but bought it anyway....partly because I wanted to do the road trip up the country. Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was played so many times I lost count and I had just given up smoking.....
The first thing I found out about was that the gearbox - the original Triumph 4-speed plus overdrive unit - had the oil retention characteristics of a colander. I found this out by way of the smell of burning gear oil in the cabin and looked underneath to see a small puddle form there every time we stopped. Fortunately it did not burst into flames (well, not on THAT trip, but that's a different story). I also had to jerry-rig up something to stop the speedo cable from lying on the hot exhaust, because that wasn't exactly ideal either. By the time we got to the top of the South Island, I was having to hold the clutch pedal up with my foot because the spring had broken, so I was upside down in the motel carpark with my head under the dash trying to rig a temporary fix with the remains of the spring when the car's horns started up on their own. Turned out the car had an alarm I didn't know about and I had bumped the switch...... She developed a misfire heading away from the ferry when we got to the North Island, but a quick clean of the points, plugs and inside the distributor cap sorted that. Unfortunately, it made us a bit late for arriving at our next destination and I had to do some night driving......out the back of beyond on a lesser-used highway with no street lights.....so it was DARK...and the headlights of the Stag were pointed at the ground 2 feet in front of the bumper - and that was on high beam. I had wondered why we were getting this constant smell of petrol through the car and how it was worse for a long time after I filled up. I had thought it had been because I had doused my shoes when we first filled it up, but was having a hard time believing that when it still ponged the second day. I saw why the next morning. The road we had been on the previous night was quite dusty and had coated the fuel that had been pouring down the right hand side of the car from the filler cap with a light dusting, leaving a rather tell-tale stream mark down the side and all the way to the rear of the right rear quarter, No wonder I was getting such crap mpg - I figured quarter of the tank was emptying out the filler cap! I ran her from half a tank down from then on and bought a two gallon jug of fuel just in case I was caught short.
From there to home (about 250 miles) was uneventful in the sense that nothing else went wrong but I cannot honestly say that what DID go wrong caused us any real or imagined trauma. It was a lot of fun, there was a V8 soundtrack and classic tunes. We saw things that neither of us had ever seen, followed (and were followed by) other classic cars - British and US - and had discussions on all manner of topics, so learned a lot from and about each other. The Stag has gone on to cost me more money than I paid for it five years ago to get it to pretty much the same as it was when I bought it, but as well as causing me many headaches, the car has also given me a lot of enjoyment.....as it has also done with the rest of my little family when they've ridden in it with me. Many memories have been had in that 48-year-old, tired but still giving it her all classic and to be honest, I would not swap those memories for anything in the world. I cannot take money with me when I go past my expiry date, so why not have some fun with it if I can? Money is a tool to get you what you need. I needed to ease my soul and get back to driving something I enjoyed and the Stag has given me that. Tomorrow, I will take her on her weekly run of around 80 miles through the countryside, past beaches and through hills and long straights near my home. Sometimes she gets an outing several times a week or I use her as my daily for a couple of weeks or so, but she does get the minimum 80 mile run. Hopefully it will not be raining and I can put the top down, but if not, I am sure I will still enjoy her sure-footedness in the corners and the sound of the rumble through the car as she moves along.
By the way - if you ever come to New Zealand, be warned that if you have kids with you in the car, you are not allowed to smoke. Yep - the nanny-state tree-huggers and do-gooders banned it a few years ago, much to my chagrin and soapbox ranting against it. They said it was to stop kids being "victims of their parents' filthy habits" and "to avoid the health issues associated with second hand smoke" That wouldn't be a problem in the Goat - only a convertible would allow more airflow than that beast! Not railing on smokers, mate - just giving you the good oil. I've been smoke free since I bought the Stag......but I still vape!
Ha! Great story
No AC all the cars I had had no ac lol I know exactly how you feel. I have become immune car interior heat.
Great video so nice to see the goat back on the road handling its business 👍
That looked like a long deserved trip for the both of you. Glad to see you can have fun and enjoy time with your boy. Great video. 👍
I was really looking forward to watching you guys road trip video after you got back & you didn’t disappoint!! 😁👍🏻 In exactly 2 weeks from today, we are road tripping it from NC to Galveston, TX & watching you guys video is making me look forward to our trip even more!! 🤗😎👍🏻
Always the best times
"Amarillo by mornin' "... I think I've watched this about 4 times now. Great roadtrip with the boy!!!
Yes you are The King ,taking your boy on a road trip in a car most people wouldn't leave their driveway with is awesome.I bet he will never forget it .Cars are about the story of where it came from and what it took to get it there.Ride on brother Ride on.Good luck to you and J D.
Thank you!
Absolutely loved this! Thanks for sharing your trip. You and JD work well together.
My home in Arizona is right on the historic route 66 and this St. Paddy's Day brought a lot of sightseers passing by with blue skies and high sixties ever pleasant sans the notorious wind.
My '03 Tundra and daily driver 2013 Cry Me a River 200 both baking and soaking up the sun's UV rays.
