Congratulations. Very few have driven such a broad array of geographies in such a superb car in just one trip. Your photos are fantastic. I think my favorite part was your drive up the West coast and I would love to do that part one day.
What was your favorite section of the trip?

Glad you made it to your destination safely Brotha! Great write up as well. A bunch of us are getting together this Sunday and driving the same Run that ended up in Warner Springs. We will be thinking of you and Mika the whole time!!!

What a journey man! Great pics as well. Who did you end up with servicing the M...BMW of Alexandria? If you have no plans this Saturday AM, I plan on hitting up Katies Cars and Coffee at Great Falls. Would love to hear that exhaust in person.

I literally spent 45 minutes throughly looking through the pics and the story. Still trying to comprehend how profoundly beautiful some of the scenery is, I was in awe the whole time. I caught myself saying "holy sh*t whoa" more than a dozen times lol. Being stuck in Cali I keep forgetting the rest of the US has some National Geographic worthy sites. I wish I had the patience to do such a trip, but you got my inspiration up! 3 of my favorite pics, which were very hard to choose:
I'd love a run on this highway Or flog it on this one Very moving picture right here. Literally captures the essence of what an Ultimate Driving Machine is.
