Montreal to San Francisco
in a Fibreglass Buggy
Dear John's Bug Shop,
We thought you should know that my wife and I are taking on the daring task of
driving
our recently re-built Berrien Nostalgia buggy across North
America on July 1st. That will be over 6,500 miles!
We bought a Nostalgia shell in fall of 2007 from you
and used it to rebuild an old Manx clone we had been driving.
This was a complete rebuild starting with the replacement of the frame head
followed by new zero mile engine and tranny.
If you recall, you were very accommodating and actually brought the shell all the way out to Embrun, Ont.
This was very appreciated!
We will be leaving Montreal and heading to San Francisco
follow by a 'short' drive down to L.A. to attend the Manx Club Big Bear Bash and drive back.
My wife has promised to document and keep a daily
diary of our journey.
Thank you for having provided an outstanding service John's Bug Shop!
For your viewing pleasure, here's our itinerary.
