Yes it is now confirmed and booked, my wife and I are going to visit the US of A (West Coast at this stage) next year in April. Due to being able to get a ridiculously cheap airfare (Brisbane to San Francisco - via Sydney rtn) for AU$999.00 - so around US$700.00.

Our itinerary is not yet fully in place, but we are coming into San Francisco on the 11th staying a few days, then down to Arizona, again a couple of day, back to Los Angeles/Anaheim for around a week out to Las Vegas for a few days and then back to San Fransisco most likely via Los Angeles.

It would be good to have the chance to meet up with a few of the members if possible during this time if we can organise it.

Sorry I can't afford to bring a whole car over with me ....

Well then, lets organize a little Arizona meet then . Would love to meet fellow Mk1 enthusiast

BTW every stop you mentioned has a TS member less then 50 miles from the airport , they will all be at TS SoCal Meet viewtopic.php?f=23&t=54827 in few weeks , too bad you are not coming up here beginning of December

It is a shame that we cannot come next month and meet up with everyone at the SoCal event, but looking forward to catching up with those that we can in April.

Always good to meet other enthusiasts when you can

It was great as a tourist. plenty to see and do for us. The weather was awesome.
We also did a self driving tour in a VW Beetle convertible for a day ... that was fun http://thebugsterexperience.com/

Two days ago I got to catch up with one of the old Teamswift crew (and his lovely wife) near Palm Springs .. he is awesome and his hospitality was above and beyond my expectations .. Thank you

Tonite I have been in Phoenix Arizona and the Teamswift crew here have been amazing .. I even got to drive a T3 .. and I am a believer!!! Buzzing around unknown roadways in the middle of the USA .. wooohoo!!

We have the Mk1 TwinCam but you guys with the T3 .. well I wasnt expecting the power and the performance ...

Tomorrow I leave for Grand Canyon and then move on to Vegas

I have to truly thank all the Teamswift members that I have met for the hospitality and showing me a great time ..

It was good to meet you and hang out for a bit . I knew you would like checking out T3 as you are Mk1 fan as I am . It was nice get together of Suzuki fans in my back yard . I was little busy and completely forgot to pull the camera out and snap few pics . Fortunately we had a member scratchpaddy here who is a pro with the camera . Here is a link to his GMF post with all the pics he took

Hope rest of your trip went well and you are planning a return trip already .

Great write up from scratchpaddy ... still have a smile on the dial ..

Well the break is over and back downunder, may have to find a way of getting a Mk1 T3 powerplant/drive and associated stuff to Australia to build my own Aussie version to show them all down here how good these are ...
