The Cruiser.......

This will be our chariot that takes us across the states. It is an automatic 3.1L, V6 1996 Buick Century in a grayish colour. Features include power windows (front and back), cruise control, clectric random seat mover (it doesnt appear to move the seat in any logical direction), Front bench seat and faded\weathered paint in various spots - also thrown in is a tape playing stereo so it looks like radio stations all the way - super. It does however only have 27,000 miles on the clock and has just had full tune up - so fingers crossed, with that and also full AAA breakdown cover it will do us proud!

  2. Bon voyage! Have a wonderful journey! Looking forward to seeing your photos of the U S of A. On behalf of Dan I will attempt to comment on the car - love the wood paneling... kind of nutty. And in the words of Sheryl Crow..

    They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks

  5. Wow a blog - I've just realised you won't be using Barcelona any more! Gutted, hope your trip sees many interesting stops. Ange and I will be following. Get a big gulp in early as the cup will be handy if you can't stop by the side of the road.
