I do agree, NJ has some very nice places that I was able to visit on my days away from the airport. I also got to visit a few junkyards where I found two toploader gearboxes, one wide and one close ratio, a high perf 289 and a very low mileage 302 that all were shipped back to the UK, FOC of course. I had made a decision that I didn't want to relocate to the US so I didn't apply for a green card, my US visa was for persons with specialist knowledge, I think it was a B1. Anyway I spent my time getting lots of parts for my dormant Cobra residing quietly back home. The other factor for returning to the UK was that my wife was persueing her own career and was doing quite well at her company. So in between hitting the Englishtown Wednesday evening run what you brung drags, zooming over to Reading Pa for the weekend events and getting up to Watkins Glen when I had a couple days in a row off, I bought sets of pistons, heads roller rockers, manifolds, Holley carbs and loads of other neat stuff, all either shipped back or hand carried. I had a year in New Jersey and was quite pleased to get back home but although I was busting to get into the garage and start work, I was reminded that our house move was not that long ago so I had quite a lot of renovation and redecoration tasks put in front of me.
