    We live in the South West of Western Australia. We moved here from NZ 9 years ago and have been making regular trips to the USA each year ever since.
    The car scene here is very quite, compared to the USA and NZ so our yearly trips is how we get our car fix.
    In 2010 we had a 32 Roadster built in the USA by Adams Hot Rod shop in Calhoun Georgia and have done 15000 trouble free miles during the past 2 vacations, amouning to 14 weeks in total. Luckily we have very good friends in the US that are willing to house the roadster for us when were back in Aussie. It is currently in Calhoun GA with Chad Adams, owner of Adams Hot Rod Shop. Over the past 2 year we have done a couple of Street Rodder tours and a Good Guys tour from Des Moines GG to Columbus GG. We love meeting new people and have found this is a good way to do that.
    We will be back again this year for another 12 weeks of Hot Rod fun!
    Back in Australia we have a 1930 Model A Tudor, 1927 Model T Roadster, and our daily driver is a 1989 Chev Silverado pickup, these we bought over from NZ when we moved. We also have a 1956 Chevy Nomad which we purchased in Sacramento last year while on holiday and a 1970 C10 Stepside which is having a BB installed at the moment.
    We have had other muscle cars and pickups over the years but have since been sold. We are slowly working our way through our bucket list of cars we want to own.

    T Roadster was street legal in NZ but not here so has been used as a drag car only. Plan on swapping motors, licensing for the road then selling.
