Bucky92 Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Its almost 7:30 AM...They are about a half hour outside of Billings Montana. Will be stopping for coffee and breakfast them..found the problem with Andrews car ( besides it being a Ford Escort) was a loose plug wire. Had a few close call with deer but no casualties..was told that Rob doesnt want to show up in a wrecked car:grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck369 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 He should follow the Escort then...so it can clear out the deer No great loss if an Escourt gets crumpled:grin: :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WagonsOnly Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Rob and I split at the first I-90 rest area in Wyoming...where is he now? (I'm in Denver, and the Escort seems to be doing much better at slightly lower altitude) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I saw Andrew on Thursday and he crashed here at Otis st Ranch for the night. Havent heard from him since though and he left 3 computer+cell phone cables behind. And a set of Seats for one of his project cars but I assume that was because of space constraints.
