Jeez, it's a hard life

Enjoy. Where in America? Might be a good idea to get some cheap tuning bits for that there Viper while you're there.
Anywhere's got to be better than the People's Republic of Great Britain at the moment.

If its that hot Buy a Mad Dog and take it for walks at lunchtime.

We had an old Suffolk guy go to Texas on a training course for 4 months. He used to walk everywhere, and eventually got on the local TV and became a minor celebrity, and was recognised all over the place in the end.
Mind you wearing Plus Fours and a Deerstalker Hat in Texas would make you stick out a bit.

But thats how he dressed over here even for work.

Ahh that was in the good old days.

Enjoy your stay, and fill your suitcases with tuning goodies on the trips back!
