IML: Road Trips

Hi Sherman -
Inspired by your story, I can report a return from a successful 1,275 mile
road trip on the South Island of New Zealand, but not in an Imperial,
rather a Frazer Nash. However, I did some "Imperial visiting". Near
Christchurch, I saw Geoff Simpson's '65 convert - a project in progress,
but coming along nicely. In Oamaru - home of the blue penguin colony - we
visited with Brian and Sera Ledgerwood. His '38 Chrysler Royal was being
finished up in a shop, but his '71 (?) Valiant VIP RHD really is very nice.
I missed Geoff Simpson and his '57 Imperial in Dunedin, as he was away the
weekend we passed through, but we'll be returning and I'm sure to see him
eventually. The people, food, beer, wine and empty, curvy roads with
spectacular scenery were even better on this visit!

Last week the weather forecast was suppose to be good for Wed Nov 23rd,
Light snow Thanksging Day, then clear and in the 50's for the rest of the
weekend. Thought this might be my last opportunity this year to take the
Imperial down to Virginia Beach (via Culpepper/Rappahonneck County for
Thanksgiving) to take my 91 year old-'Old Car Enthusiast' Aunt for a ride.
Aunt Pearl is originally a 'NYC gal'. She and my uncle (passed 4 years
ago) had traveled to 68 countries, and last year she even took a New
England cruise herself. She thought we were coming down again with the
('96) Jaguar superchared 6 cyl XJR, which she loves as it has the comfy
bucket style rear heated seats. She likes 4 dr cars, and being VERY
INDEPENDENT, likes 'her own door'.
