David Jason: Planes, Trains and Automobiles

You may well be enjoying Sir David Jason’s excellent “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” 5-part series currently being broadcast on the Gold TV channel. The actor, who famously played Delboy in Only Fools and Horses is travelling from Seattle to Los Angeles and enjoying vintage methods of transport and seeing some wonderful parts of Washington, Oregon and California as he heads south.

If you fancy a trip to the Pacific northwest, we have the “Northwest Coastal Cruise” which covers a similar route from Seattle to San Francisco and includes Olympic National Park, Portland, Crater Lake, the giant Redwood Trees and the Golden Gate Bridge. The trip can be extended to Los Angeles or San Diego too if you wish.

Please let us know if you’re interested and we can price this trip up for you.

Our Station Wagon Arrives in Arizona

Over the weekend our Checker station wagon has arrived in Arizona from Massachusetts. A friend is going to spend the next few months going over the car mechanically to try and give us the best chance of completing Route 66 in it. The car is a 1968 model, which makes it 50 years old. He will try and go through the car in the evenings and at weekends as time allows. He has a few Checkers himself so has a good knowledge of these cars, in fact the white limo Checker you can see on the car transporter is yet another one that our friend has bought!

We have acquired one of the later model disc brake set-ups from another Checker which is sadly beyond saving which we will use to replace the current drum set-up on our ’68 Wagon.

As before, we will share progress and information as this car over the next few months.
