Mine too. Some might thing there's no substance to all of the bumping we do- I bet to differ. The bumping shows the passion we all have for ToD and our desire to keep the thread on the forefront of the forums.

Awesomeness

Man I need to browse this thread more often. I've just been so darn busy trying to get Probie ready for St. Augustine!

Yeah it is kinda cool to be a Maiden Voyager. I've decided when I get a house, I'm going to dedicate a room to the ToD. All the ToD shirts and photos from US129 or wherever will be framed and put on the wall. So then I can compare year to year. I look at the Maiden Voyage pictures and think..."Wow, Probie had NOTHING on him at the time", now I look at last years and think "Wow, Probie is now a 5 spd, he's got big wheels, etc etc etc...." How things change!

Can't wait for ToD 2k11 It's gonna rock!!

Though I think we need to find what road the Ga/Fl carabugavan took to get there, because that road was CRAZY twisty and sooooooo awesome!!!!!

Not sure if the road they took was the attached. The section of road known as "Moonshiner 28" runs from Walhalla, SC to just below Bryson City, NC. Needless to say it gets its nickname from a lot of heritage and is pretty famous in its own right around here. Feeds right into "The Dragon" from the south. Some folks prefer it to the Dragon here in Upstate SC.

I don't think that was it. I believe their route was abit further west.

Cold weather in Florida? Too bloody cold for these old bones in the South Carolina midlands But, thanks to Uncle Sam, I have no mods planned so you younguns mod to your hearts content.

FWIW, in 2K14, I'm beginning the build of a 1927 track T styled model T roadster. With a 400HP V6 Yessah
