I agree with the others when it comes to the Roundup in Austin. Do your best to be there.

If you come through Memphis let me know and I will try to set up an interesting side trip for you.

 

Bring some Stiegl and some schnapps with you
You will make lots of new friends

 

If you're into old motorcycles, swing by the Barber motorcycle museum in Birmingham, Alabama. It's HUGE and worth the stop.

These guys know what they are talking about!

 

Andy, it's not a speed shop here----it's a body shop Not really that impressive....B.A. just likes to poke fun at my 20-30 old junk cars, about half are HAMB-friendly I'm east of Nashville by about 50 miles.
I'd love to meet up with you guys and tear up Nashville, but like I said I'm headed to the Roundup--probably on the 26th, taking my time. Making a side trip to Flat Top Bob's salvage yard in Wellington TX(60something acres of cars)......again....you guys should try to make the Roundup---best cars and people and music you could ask for!!!!

 

not making fun of your cars.just admiring them. i want them all!!!!! sorry for the misunderstanding see you saturday

 

Do you like salzburg?
Yes I had a nice time there. I was down from the hotel to the bahnhof and a 72 Firebird drove by with a small hood scoop. I heard it coming before I saw it. I was surpised. Coffee and chocolate at Demels was my favourite memory. OH , and the Wurst followed by a Schwaben style Pretzel in the town square. Schmeckt gut!

I just completed a 9500 mile 3month 25 state trip in december a good source of people to talk to in the places you go is the NSRA fellow pages we used it on our trip there was 3 of us with 46&47 fords with teardrop trailers found nothing but great people on our trip saw a lot of things and places we had read and heard about for years would do it again if we had the time we are all over 60 you can see us on Coker Tire on the web under BUCKET LIST be shure to stop at Coker and spend time with them gook luck NO CHOP

 

Atlanta is great and lots of good people there (the Sock Fuckers will show you a good time, generally involving hot rods, cold beer, naked grandmothers, fireworks and squirrelly antics... not necessarily in that order ).

Atlanta is an easy 16 hour drive from AUSTIN. If you're going to be that close to Austin at that time of year DO NOT MISS THE ROUNDUP. Seriously, it's the best show, in the best city... period. This year is the 10th anniversary too. I wish I was going.

 

Andy......................What are your plans, ( I know, you are formulating them...), for when you arrive in Atlanta, and how many in your "entourage"?
I believe your flight, will arrive in Atl. by 10:00, and was wondering if you were planning to "pack out" that day, from Atl., ( get your rental car and leave that day????)........................Let me know, maybe we can work something out........................

Gute Fahrt!

 

Duuuhhhh!!!!!

"3 Austrian's", it says..................

Give me some more info, anyhow, please.......................

We'll try to get together, and do SOMETHING!!!!

 

And dont forget
There are no Kangeroos in Austria

From Atlanta you can go due west to Birmingham,AL. The Barber Motorcycle Museum is there.Largest in the world! They also have some cars there too. About 4-500 motorcycles on display.
From there north to Huntsville,AL where there are some good space museums. If you want to go to Chattanooga, there is a strech of interstate that pretty well connects the two. Or North on I-65 to Nashville,TN.From Chattannoga take I-24 to Nashville.
There is the Lane Museum there. Lots of micro cars and unusual cars. Also the Country Music Hall of Fame is nice.In Memphis Beale Street is cool. BBQ is great. It is pork based.Texas BBQ is beef based.It is all good. Graceland is interesting.

Andy

 

Have anyone a idea, where we can rent a suv for this 2 weeks (low budget)?

regards Andy

Count 18 days

 

Dont rent at the airport. The airport car rental has extra taxes.
When you book a rental car, ask for the rates at a rental location away from the airport, and then take a taxi. That should save you about $15 a day.

 

Tell the truth ,ya only coming for the American chicks ! haha

 

You know why we are coming to the us

- babes
- beer
- bbq
- hot rods
- rockabilly

I can´t wait to come ...

 

Daddyohs- Are you planning to do a photo thread? I'm sure everyone here loves roadtrips and would be interested in seeing how you guys make out on yours. Good luck and enjoy it.

 

@ kein: Yes, I think so, to make some photo report.
anyone is interested for the last roadtrip (nevada, california) 2010

Floyd Garretts Musclecar Museum, Sevierville(sp?), Tn, a must see, also tow truck museum in Chattanoga and Coker Tire.

 

count 10 days

 

Are you going to make the Roundup?

 

we think about it, and when we are on the way from memphis to new orleans and we have enough time, than we would like drive to the roundup. we will see...

 

Do youself a favor and do everything you can to make the Roundup. It is well worth missing something else to make this awesome show.
