Probably second on the list. Probably last on the list when I loose all my money...Burning ManMay not be there at the right time as its 3 months before SEMAHollywoodWho wouldnt/must do cars & coffee.DisneylandFor the kid in me, I know there are better parks but they were never around when I was a kid.Grand CanyonNashville Tennessee.This ones for the oldman he was a big country fan and I dont mind listening to it either.New YorkObvious really...Niagara FallsWashingtonLondon/England/Ireland?ScotlandFranceGermanyAutobahn/NürburgRome/ItalyGreecemay do a boat trip for the Euro junket...2 cousins are off in a couple of months on one so looking forward to hearing details.JapanMachu PicchuThis ones out there...but I have a question I need to ask them...MaldivesAnother one thats out there, I'd feel like a bit of dork goin by myself I think..may do Bora Bora instead.Thailand is a maybe.So do you think there is anything else I should be adding...

Vegas is cool enough.... let alone all that! I think Carrol Shelby's factory/museum is in Vegas too? maybe try and squeeze in a NHRA top fuel round too....We werent fans of Disneyland. Maybe if we had kids with us it would have been different. NY was fantastic. Muscle beach/santa monica pier is supposed to be good too. I'd hire a muscle car, start in Hollywood, cruise over to Vegas, and live it up.....Id love to go over and watch Isle of Mann. And maybe Sturgis/Daytona bike week.

I'm probably not your age but watching my old man fight cancer after working like a crazy bastard his whole life (he's 10 years off retiring) made the wife and I start thinking the same.. I can't really add too many ideas to the list but a few lads I work with went to Burning Man and reckon its the best trip they've ever made and these are fellas who've done just about every crazy Thai full moon sex party or whatever they are.. I'd love to go to Japan and the UAE but that's me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
