16 hours of traveling later.......

Nigel arrives in Indiana - We think that he looks a little bit lost.

Collected from the airport by Paul and Ilaine Bender

Some people say that Paul looks like Robert Redford, His wife says "Think bulldog chewing on a wasp" (OUCH)

We can't comment because his face isn't in any of these photos.

Paul talking business to a customer.

But why is he saying "extra large, no mushrooms"?

Paul playing with Ilaine's pussy...cat
(can we say that?)

The cat's name is Hoover - There's a joke about sucking in there somewhere but after the previous faux pas, we'll leave it.

The following day we drive to Kentucky - 7 hours

That's a loooong road.

We arrive at our destination.

A gas station !?!

We find a motel room just down the road.

The sign outside said 'Bates Motel', some strange red stains were in the bath. Some strange brown ones appeared in Nigel's underwear.

Breakfast at the 'Coon Dog Inn'

Note: Diving a Pick-up truck is compulsory in Kentucky.

A view from the car as we passed by.

Nigel said 'Ah, Bambi'

The locals would say 'Ah, Dinner'

Margaret (the Lincoln's owner) invites us in for coffee and cake.

Very kind of her, especially as it was her grandson's birthday!!!

Margaret and Dara (her daughter)

Justin (the birthday boy in the background) is trying to make a run for it. He won't get far on that plastic car.

The Lincoln is here somewhere!!!!

Nigel measuring the Lincoln - After all, that was the purpose of his holiday....I mean BUSINESS TRIP

"I'm ganna need a bigger ruler"

Paul and Nigel Continue Measuring

We have no idea what Nigel is up to.

(But that's nothing new)

Paul with Kevin (Margaret's son) and Jim (Margaret's brother-in-law). Discussing the finer points of the Lincoln Automobile.

That or how he doubles for Robert Redford.

All finished. Nigel with Kevin and his son Jackson.

Now it's back to England (another long journey)
