Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / May 2008What would you want to take with you on the ultimate road trip,if you could make one?
If you got to make the ultimate road trip (and money, geographic location of the trip and the make / model of the desired car you'd most want to use wasn't a limitation), what things or person/s would you most want to take with you and please say why. You can take any high profile person/s you admire, irrespective whether anyone named is living or is presently deceased. >If you got to make the ultimate road trip (and money, geographic >location of the trip and the make / model of the desired car you'd >most want to use wasn't a limitation), what things or person/s would >you most want to take with you and please say why. >You can take any high profile person/s you admire, irrespective >whether anyone named is living or is presently deceased. Well, if they're "presently deceased" the odds are in favour of them staying that way, besides which why would you want to travel with a dead body (unless you're intending to bury it in an unmarked grave ? > If you got to make the ultimate road trip (and money, geographic > location of the trip and the make / model of the desired car you'd > most want to use wasn't a limitation), what things or person/s would > you most want to take with you and please say why. > You can take any high profile person/s you admire, irrespective > whether anyone named is living or is presently deceased.

In many cases, these vehicles would be excellent as the basis for a hot rod, but because they're left to rot, they end up completely worthless. It's very sad for those people who don't think that the only good vehicles are brand new ones... I'm looking forward to my next trip to Narrabi in August. I'll get to see some of the 6 hotrods that were under construction last year finished and probably see a few more in progress.

My Father in Law was a cocky out past Parkes with a few thousand Acres, the paddock near the house had a veritable wealth of old cars and tractors.

Well, I'll admit my tastes have changed some, so the lure of driving a 'street legal' car on public highways has diminished. So to me a "big wonderful road trip" might not be very far off. My motor home/RV/tow vehicle, pulling an enclosed car hauler, with a decent sports racer inside. Itenerary planned to hit a new track nearly every weekend. So, to "ultimize": 1. much nicer motor home, 2. much nicer race car (perhaps Radical V8 or Diasio 962R turbo, DPL etc.) 3. Add an "Alternate transportation" (small/easy/local wandering) (perhaps a 'tiny' car that fits in car hauler? - not enthused anymore with a motorcycle!). 4. With both of this couple. 5. If money is truly no issue, add a mechanic that shows up at each track, and 6. a exceptional 'local driver/entrant' for each track for extra visiting, information, and smoothing out all the 'strange issues' that show up at any 'strange place'. Hmmm, rethinking #6, a Phil Hill, or Dan Gurney, or even G. Hill riding with us on whole trip would be wonderfully enertaining, and indeed would probably 'smooth out' all local issues! > If you got to make the ultimate road trip (and money, geographic > location of the trip and the make / model of the desired car you'd > most want to use wasn't a limitation), what things or person/s would > you most want to take with you and please say why. > You can take any high profile person/s you admire, irrespective > whether anyone named is living or is presently deceased.
