Machine Gun Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) New heavy-duty radiator and fan, transmission cooler, auxiliary electric fuel pump, and overall health check over the past several weeks. Leaving on Wednesday for Route 66 Part 2, a continuation of last year's trip. Will be visiting friends in New Mexico and California in addition to the usual Route 66 stuff. Can't wait to get on the road. Expect to be on the road until the end of October.

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Jim, I am a ways south of your route, but if by chance you get this far south, yell out. Have a safe and enjoyable trip. Ben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I live nowhere near your route, but I also hope you have a great trip and enjoy the ride! Don't forget to take a lot of pictures and post them in your 'Route 66' thread to make the rest of us jealous! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ways? Hell, the distance from where I'll be to where you are is just about the entire length of NJ! Seriously though, thanx for the invite nonetheless. Hope to meet you and others on these forums someday, maybe at some future Buick gathering.

Loren@65GS.com Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Enjoy your Route 66 trip, I'm a bit envious, we did a small portion of Route 66 when the Buick Nationals were in Oklahoma. I looked for your Route 66 part 1 but was not able to find it. Loren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Machine Gun, since you are become an expert with these long road trips in your Skylark, how about aiming for the Buick Nationals in Spokane for 2023? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to, but next year it's my wife's turn to choose a vacation spot. Two car-related vacations in a row won't fly 😢. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
