WV uses the Metric system. And GPS units automatically switch over. So the display was reading in km/h.

Yep.

a little over 1100 miles for me IIRC. The car performed flawlessly the entire time...can't say that about the driver unfortunately.

This group of Thomas 11 RL'ers, got a similar greeting walking into most bar/restaurants...that Norm used to get in Cheers. Simply amazing really, considering the total lack of social skills on average that is.

Anway, a picture can say a thousand words...

I looks like a good time was had by most. Someone must have been in a low flying airplane.

The first year it is a squirrel, second year it involved deer horns, this year there is a little bump. We'll give it a little time and I'm sure bits and pieces of the story will come out.

Awesome time - we're glad you made the journey. You may want to get your eyes checked though...

Umm, whatever. These cars are old & worn out anyway.

No airplanes involved. Just pure non-Varioram fury.

What story?
