Dixieland Delight

First business-related road trip in nearly three years, flew into Atlanta earlier today (always entertaining, working your way through Jackson-Hartsfield International) and drove to Montgomery via the scenic route.  I dumped off the freeway at Anniston, AL, and meandered on south to Alabama’s capital city.  Great begin on the highway again in a different part of the country, although unfortunately the trip means I’ll miss both the Triumph and Healey Christmas parties this weekend.

Honda Civic StL 151128

Further down the road, today in Anniston, AL, at Pee Wee Turner’s Used Cars on US 231 north of downtown, this interesting duo of VWs.  Turner had several other interesting cars, including a ’62 Ford Falcon and ’65 Mercury Comet sedan.  Wild…

VWs Anniston, AL 151129

Figure on three full days in Montgomery, then off to Warner Robins, GA, for two days.  The search will continue…
