The Top Gear team did one a year or so back. I would recommend that you copy what they did exactly.....but don't run away like them. :lol: :lol:

Blimey ****`y; it was in 1981!!! There are great places to stop like Big Sur to watch whales, fabulous scenery all the way and very light traffic away from the cities. We had a Cadillac (natch) but I wish we`d had a convertible. We took two days but it could easily be stretched to a week with stopovers etc.

In that time you could take in Vegas, Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam; that was our full trip.

Should have asked if anyone has "done a drive-by USA"! Quite the popular sport in "the hood" if I'm correct... :-P :wink:
