Bruce's US Adventure

Hey Roger,

Just got back from the US of A yesterday so have done nothing on the car for the last three weeks. Visited JAE engineering the lotus guys in California while there, small workshop but worth a visit. The european classic Ford spotting was a bit thin on the ground. Saw a MK1 Cortina wagon, a MK2 Cortina four door on the roads. But I did see two RS200s for sale while there at the Imperial Casino car collection in Vegas (it is like a classic car sale yard for people with LOTS of money) one was a evolution, oooooh to have lots of money. If going to Vegas go the the Drive complex at the Sahara Casino, pick up a two for one coupon from a hotel guest first. For $10 you get four drives of cars from the current GM line up around their short test track. Got to run a current model Corvette, a GTO (Monaro) and the 440 HP Caddy. Great value for money. Anyway back home now so need to drop of parts for the engine to be machined, I'll let you know how I go.
