Well touch wood Belle has been a very good girl for me. Our love affair continues.
When we drove Route 66 backwards from LA to Chicago

and #3 son were along as far as Flagstaff AZ , after which it was #3 son & myself.
We picked up an SUV in LA but then got the Mustang in Vegas. I hogged it from Vegas to the canyon & Flagstaff ( who's the Daddy?).
Driving into Seligman ( the birthplace of the route 66 mythology & the Cars films) solo with

& #3 son in the tin top, with the sun out & top down , the radio started playing I'm in love with my car by Queen.
Perfect I thought .
We had walkie talkies to communicate between the tin top and the 'Stang so I called them up to hear my vocal rendition of this favourite. A great moment in life.
