Violet & I got home from the 32nd International Mustang Meet (Spokane, WA) earlier today..we were carrying an extra bit of luggage but more of that later.
Pulling a show ready car out of the garage on Thursday morning Violet saw rain for just the fifth time in her sheltered life, this lasted for the first four hours of the trip - a good excuse to drive faster though to stop the rain coming in...I did mention this was top down all the way, right? Ten hours and nearly 800km later we pulled into Spokane with a lovely grey film all over her bodywork.
The route was simple enough, highway #3 all the way from the Hat, through the crowsnest pass to the Idaho border..down the I95, across on highway #2 to the I90;
