I did a lot of back-packing in the 80s.
One time , we went to America. Back then, you could deliver cars to different parts of the states. These werent new cars...........I think they must have belonged to people who "relocated" etc....
You were given a free tank of petrol, and a set time to deliver the car. We drove one from Fort Laudedale to L.A. The second one we drove from L.A. to Seattle.........we then took a bus (greyhound I think!) to Vancouver.
Longest drive was returning from Seattle down to Miami (or maybe it was Fort Laudedale!?) They gave us I think a week to deliver it....we did it in 3 or 4 days!! ..Hell of a long drive that was!!
I will always remember those drives.........Back then. I was driving old bangers! Cortinas, Escorts etc etc......To have air con and cruise control...... Wow!! Driving through Texas etc with air con and cruise control, electric windows etc etc....we thought we were millionaires!!
