Dream Road Trip

LucyLandRover

Hello,

if you could go on a dream road trip, what would it be? I would love to drive my classic Land Rover along Route Sixty Six and see ghost towns such as Glenrio in Texas. It is such a cultural icon of the US, the Mother road as Steinbeck called it. I did do a recent trip along our A47 on my way to Suffolk but nice as it was, hardly the same. It does not matter if you are unable to drive, use your imagination, after all, you could be a passenger/navigator on such a trip.

  • That's amazing I hope you get to do that one day! My Grandfather has a classic Landrover like one of the green army ones with the wheel on the bonnet - uses it mostly on his farm to carry different things. I've been in it a few times really awesome but very uncomfortable to travel in I thought :) 

    I would love to go to Belfast and check out where the Titanic was built - Titanic's my special interest. And I'd also love to tie that in with going up to Scotland and exploring the vast countryside up there. I don't drive but if I did I'd go in one of those classic VW campers.

    LR's with the spare on the bonnet look great until you have to lift the bonnet to work on the engine or try and drive off road with the reduced vision! I too like the Titanic and have a few books on it. VW campers are nice and would make a good vehicle for a road trip.

    LR's can be hard riding if the springs have not been maintained. I replaced all four so my backside was spared on the way to Suffolk! Great fun to drive.
