Event Coverage **LSRU 2013 - One Week on the road in a Roadster**

Driving in 23* weather will definitely make you question your sanity won't it? Ask me how I know? Looks like you had fun. It's on my list.

 

Looks like a great trip Nick. Congratulations on TRJ pick, can't get much better than that!!

 

That's awesome thanks for sharing! Congratulations on the TRJ pick it was well deserved

 

Your perseverance and determination contributed to the rusty hulk I have in the garage now! I hope to be able to drive mine to the roundup someday too.

 

see if this works, posted it on fb too.
congrats again nick.

Congrats Nick. Very nice roadster and you drive the shit out of it which makes it even better in my book. Take care and I'll see you down the road.
Later,
Dick

 

So proud to be a buddy of Nick's, living thru these young bloods is very cool for an ol geezer! Rock on my brothers! ~sololobo~

 

You're just fuckin NUTS, you know that doncha? No sane person drives an open car from Omaha to Austin with snow on the ground...............I mean yeah, Tuck and I took my closed 33 ford pickup out for a ride in the Omaha snow one day but we didn't go over 3 miles from the house.
Wish I'd been riding with you.
Congrats, buddy.

 

Thanks, Rob!

Thank you!

Thanks, Mitchell!

That's awesome, Dan -- had hoped to see you in Austin.

Thanks again, Ryno! As always, great to see you.

Thanks, Dick! See you in Des Moines.

Thanks, Larry!

Haha... driving in the cold wasn't as bad as it seems. The multiple layers of clothing and my full-face motorcycle helmet helped a ton. Thanks, Rocky!

 

Great pictures Malcolm

 

Sweet roadster Malcolm!!! I love the stance..... wicked!!!

 

THAT musta been a sight! I've done 28 degrees in the roadster, but I dunno about the helmet dealy.

Looks like a great trip!

 

You are the man. I THOUGHT I was cold driving the van in 36 degree temps on the way to LSRU, but after reading this I realize I must have been mistaken. Good one Nick.

 

Great thread!!! Just a question, for us on the other side of the world. How far is it from Omaha to Austin???

Cheers Craigo

 

Google says just under 850 miles. 1300km


Looked like an awesome trip Malcolm. Reminds me of the early spring motorcycle rides because I couldn't wait any longer for warmer weather lol. Going to have some great lifelong memories for sure

 

YOU my friend are livin' the dream!

 

Thanks alot!

Haha... It was quite a site, I'm sure. I don't care if it looked funny - the helmet made a huge difference and also helped when we were driving through cold rain near Wichita.

Thanks again for the T-shirt, John -- the awards you made are very cool and nicely done, too!
Funny - Steve, that drove his '34 Coupe down with me, made a comment about being cold in his car (no heater), but that he had nothing to complain about since the car is completely enclosed and has windows.

Yep, about 850 miles one-way. Had we left earlier on Sunday, and there weren't bad storms close to home, we could've easily made it all the way back in one day.
..And I hear ya about riding a motorcycle before it gets warm out - I've done the same thing! Just around town, though.

 

..And I actually have a few edited photos to add.

 

congrats on the award Nick...very well deserved.

 

Nick, saw your car at the Roundup. It was my favorite. When I learned you drove from Omaha I new you were "THE MAN." Congrats on the Awards very well deserved.

 

Congrats on your award nick

 

See, Nick there is no sympathy for guys driving coupes. Hey, I was a little bit uncomfortable... part of the way

PS: 6 inches of snow here!

 

How did I miss ya !!! Was right by Bob K.

 

When I seen you at the Round Up the smile on your face said it all !!life is good in a hot rod !! congradulations on your car many miles many smiles !! bugs taste good !!

 

That is bad ass Malcom! You are a road trippin' fool in that roadster.

...love that color blue on it too, nice touch!

I was lucky enough to ride shot gun with Nick on Saturday to the Magnolia for breakfast and out to the show. A lot of fun. Also rode back with Jason in his A coupe that afternoon. Great to meet you guys and thanks heaps for the ride. Congratulations on the award and the 1700 mile trip. Great car(s).

Pete
