Hi Everyone. I am going to apologise in advance for the vagueness of this blog. I usually write bits as we go along but at one stage we had no electricity or internet reception so I'm just getting around to it all now and dates are starting to get muddled. On our 2nd last day in Tampa, Russ and I spent the day at Busch Gardens, a theme park with rollercoasters galore. I've attached a pic of 'Sheikra', a 3 minute thrill ride with a 90 degree drop straight down. That's right, straight down.

We found a great site where about 10 other groups were gathering and one car was broadcasting the happenings at Mission Control.

Hi Everyone. I still haven't got much to tell since our last entry as we are still without a car so this entry is mainly going to be photographs. I rang the Transmission shop today and the transmission still hasn't come in. Apparently after we paid Frank (at the shop) he had to order the transmission, the place he ordered it from then had to get it out of the car and then it had to be sent to us here in Ohio. Frank was expecting the transmission to come in today but the Thanksgiving holiday has put everything behind so we are expecting it in on Monday. We have our fingers crossed that it will actually be Ok to use as we won't know until Frank pulls it apart. The weather cleared up a few ... read more
