A good read!


While sunning me self on a beach in Rhodes Greece recently with my girlfriend (were getting married here in September as we met here 10 years ago)
I read a book called 'America Unchained' written by a British comedian call Dave Gorman, he goes to the states buys a Torino estate, then travels coast to coast only using unchained gas stations and unchained motels,
Ive got to admit i dont read alot of books, im a newspaper man myself, but i loved this one, i couldnt put it down,i felt i was traveling with him across America!
Im not sure the wifeto be will come with me on a road trip like that but maybe one day! Maybe il take her across to Ireland in the MG!
Anyway i thought id share that with you.
Cheers
Dave

hey dave
with the weather were getting at the moment it would'nt be a bad idea. i wouldnt have known what a torino was until i watched gran torino last night. nice car.my wife wants me to learn to ride so we can do a road trip of america on the motorbike. that would be nice. i drove from sydney to brisbane in a 64 vw beetle. no radio was mooing like a mad thing at all the cows on the country stretch. when we got near the coast it was the business some gift scenery, needless to say the car died 2 weeks later. such is life.

Re: A good read!


nothing's better than traveling with someone special. maybe you should plan to get along that plan trip. it's really not the same if you're all alone traveling. you just got to share all the scenic views that you'll see.
