Oh, i bought a 64 Chev El Camino ute. So i did all the trip in my own car, which was cool. Also came back on the plane with a KCW 4 1/2" narrowed
beam, saffari's, west coast choppers pipes, magneto, and various other car and bike parts as hand luggage. The chev will arrive in about 13 weeks,
its packed solid aswell. Also got a set of 13" gold wires for the Buick, just for a change.
