Once the deal was made, we had to sober up and figure out how to get a 42-year-old truck running—it hadn’t run in years. We had to extract it from its resting place and then get it home to Florida from Connecticut.
Shipping was not an option since it would have cost more than we paid for the truck. We …
so when it becomes a reality you guys need to take lots of pics of the bed so i can build my own.
New plan....sell ramp truck to a faithful GRM subscriber in CT for $2600. ;-)
Sounds like an episode of Roadkill....

Sounds like pretty much every episode of Roadkill.
Keep in mind kids, Tim has been undertaking wacky adventures like this waaaaay before there ever was a Roadkill show.
So I guess Roadkill episodes sound like GRM?
If you plan to drive that thing home, I would start lining up the GRM reader rescue relay spots and making it a challenge to get between any two points on the route. I figure that about every 60 miles you should have some sort of support on the route either in front or behind.
I can safely propose such a thing because I will be 562 miles away in the wrong direction!

I suspect that if you compared the win/loss records of the two, GRM would come out on top here.

Or the story of my automotive life since age 12.
Yeah, as far as Tim and Rennie road trips go, this one is still in the fairly tame category. Of course, they still haven't left New England....

Yeah....it would be pretty hard to top the AE86 road-trip those two took---- they even had a few "adventures" in Tijuana---- although I'm not sure those stories were fit to print. 
Just wait until they buy something to go on the back of it.
Oh don't worry, they've already got that box checked. they are planning on picking up a Triumph Spitfire and a bunch of Lotus parts on the way back.

I've mentioned it before, I think Rennie should be added to list of "insiders" that you do a podcast with.

Not on YouTube, doesn't count.
You know you just need to post of list of action items and a date and place to show up and the GRM family will show up and help.
Imagine the content that can be produced if you send a camera guy with them on their trips.
You'll need to log in to post.
