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.

How the hell do you find these sorts of jobs?
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

SO, does that mean you won't be at any of the shows this year then?
Just don't get lost and no driving on those Ice roads (if you do can you leave your car to me in your will  )
Enjoy it buddy.
ps what will your handle be? - - - Viper man?
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

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!
