Safe travels OZ.

An alu 427 FE stroker would be nice, just throw in over your shoulder, on board luggage!

Take a bag inside your main bag, so you can bring back 2 x checked in luggage. Also don't forgot about all the carry on you can take as well.

Small travel luggage scales come in handy or a lot of motels will weigh baggage for you.

Enjoy your trips guys.

Vegas is awesome!!!

good tip Craig, I hadn't thought of bag in bag, but I am actually going to buy my second case over there - they're cheap over there and I will need the space to bring back all the stuff for the ankle biters!

Sounds like a plan for both of you.

Don't forget to also use a napsack for carry on, you get another 7kg or so carry on, plus what you can carry in your hands like large jacket, laptop etc.

Have a good trip Oz. Nice place the Each Coast. I spent several months working at the FBI Academy in Quantico in Virginia some years ago and it is a great region.

pics from the Shelby HQ visit;

Shelby Worldwide HQ Las Vegas Oct 2012 - Photobucket

considering the tour is free, if you're in Vegas you'd be mad not to go. Not allowed to take pics inside the factory buildings, so these pics are all from the museum.

Hey Ozman, check out the Capital Area Cobra Club and see what they are doing when you're here. They are a bunch you'd like to visit
Cheers mate.
