Hi Leif, Welcome to the forum! We are looking forward to your contributions 🕶 Please post pictures of your Suburban when it arrives in your garage. Too bad Austin is just a bit too far away for our trip through Arizona and Nevada next month. Ron Keij ---

Sorry I am going to miss you all, we will change planes in Washington DC (IAD) both ways. I tried a stop in Denver but since there are no direct flights from the Netherlands and/or Belgium it would mean an extra stop and a price that was way too high (about $400 pp extra). maybe next july @Carlisle?

Hi All, Welcome aboard Leif. Are you from Texas originally? You will find several wagon owners on this site that can answer your wagon-only questions, and the rest of us can help with the 59 Plymouth questions and parts! I spent a week in Austin in 2000 on business and loved the architecture, River Walk, and even the Alamo. I was a little bummed that I could not take a bus tour since I am a wheelchair user and there were no accessible buses at the time. I did however tour the River Walk by tour boat and even got a pigeon Sh&% shampoo. I toured downtown and had dinner at the Brown Derby (?). All around nice town! Ron, I suppose you know I am about an hour away from the DC airports, but that is in weekend only traffic! I don’t expect any visits, but I do expect a call when you are nearby in DC. Keep your fingers crossed that my health allows me to visit you guys in Carlisle this year. Have a great trip. Leif - please post pictures - we love all pictures! Curt ---
