New guy from Illinois, USA

I stumbled onto the site before the 2007 western tour. I was brought back to it recently by one of my Canadian friends who wanted me to be aware of the 2009 east coast tour. I plan to join run the entire 2009 tour, I have my rooms booked.

We drive 8,000+ miles (is that 13,000 kilometers?) per year in the old rod. Always looking for a new place to visit and new rodders that enjoy traveling. The old Vicky has about 115,000 miles on the current paint and upholstery.

I've been to the CANATS in Trenton, Windsor, Owen Sound, and Markham. In the US we've been to Syracuse in the northeast, Helen, Georgia in the southeast, Casper, Wyoming in the northwest, and Pueblo, CO, in the southwest, as MANY points in between.

Thanks for making me feel so welcome, I appreciate all your comments.

The old Vicky was featured in Rod Action magazine in April 1978. For a long time it was just an old rod, but now it is a neat old magazine cover car.
