My stay with the Skips (Skip68) in Vegas ***PICS***

Hi gang, as you know I flew over to Las Vegas to check out a Charger which Chuck had inspected before.
I planned this short holiday with a mission as soon he told me this car was in solid driving condition.
Chuck and his family welcomed me as if they know me for years, it's so cool :2thumbs:

I post some pictures with some comments:

DAY 1

Brussels, Belgium, 13.30h
I always sit at the wing, it's cool to experience the takeoff and touch down ;)


About +7 hours later I arrived in Philadelphia. Had to go thru customs and then heading to gate where I took my flight to Vegas. 


Again 5 hours later I arrived in Vegas. Could you tell when looking at this pic, taken in the arrival zone?  :icon_smile_big:


I arrived in Vegas, completely waisted but happy I survived the long flight. When I saw Chuck standing there holding this sign, which Lisa made, man, I felt good!!

Thanks Hunt for selling me this cool 4-speed Charger



Since I never drove a car in the USA I let Chuck drive the car back home.
Here we just left the sellers home heading too the gas station



OK man, you look tuff with those shades on, I mean leaning on my car :icon_smile_cool:  :icon_smile_big:
When we left the station a guy came up to Chuck and asked if the Charger was for sale. '' No man, we just bought it and bringing it home'' ...




We went cruising...
