Took an incredible drive from Vegas to Moab via Zion and Bryce canyons. Absolutely beautiful drive and the car was perfect for 11 straight hours. This is truly driving joy.

James so good to see your stunning 1970 Cadillac and your road trip are excellent. I've only just read this post so I'm late.

I know that London's most glamorous Rolls-Royce dealer had a special service in the old days for those well-heeled clients who, for example were going to spend a year at their villa on the French Cote d'Azur. They also produced 'touring' manuals (rare to locate now) full of information about European countries, language, money, measurements etc.

Broadly speaking they went through the car replacing anything they did not like the look of, meaning expensive. Interesting times.

The young mechanic at Rickenbaugh is Jake.  Very attentive service.  He put a "Do Not Touch" sign on my car.  Golly!
The service manager Blaise gave me a phone number for carb rebuild - Jim Thurman, owner, The Garage 1825 W Union #1 Englewood 303-248-3652.  The website shows BMW expertise. 

I really like the idea of a Service Guide.  I'm new to Cadillac and welcome all the referrals I can get.

You can always find the store you need already at the place. The same goes for renting a car. If you travel on your own, then you can save money. Everyone can organize an excellent trip for themselves, and you just need to choose someplace on the platform montaregio.de.  In my opinion, it is especially interesting to travel by car (personal or rented) - complete freedom of movement! If you are interested in this option, read our tips about traveling by car.  But the most remarkable thing, of course, is to travel to various castles. Such as Schloss Neuschwanstein.

Over the years, I have purchased quite a few cars from the east and west coast back to Texas. I have carried a tool bag and some spare parts for that car. I just did a good check over before I left. In the end some cars went all the way home with no issues. A couple cars I thought I would never get home. But, in the end I would do it all over again. Each one was it own adventure. The nice thing it I did it today would be the timeline. 30 years ago I always had to worry about how long it was taking.

If you are mostly interested in portraiture, then zooms might be the better option. This is because you will likely want the flexibility that zooms offer, and they tend to be a little bit better at longer focal lengths.
