markssupra Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 end of september. First time we've been to the states and just happens to be when SILV (supras invade las vegas) is on. Wifes face was a picture when I showed her the thread on supraforums last night I honestly didn't know it was on until last night as we had already booked it earlier this week. We did plan to go on the 4th October which is when it finishes, but the wife moved it a week earlier. Oh dear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 That would be a great time to go. I fancy going in November when SEMA is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 SILV sounds like a good one. We should have something like that here, but SIB (Supras Invade Birmingham) doesn't have quite the same ring about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to take some extra spending money now in case I find some bargains at the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I might be in the area at the same time although i wasn't planning on going to vegas, just the grand canyon via yosemtie. But i might drop in now i know the SILV is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hire a car and have a drive down, i am doing the coastal road from LA to san francisco along to yosemite and down through death valley to the grand canyon. I am hiring a convertible for the journey, i have a choice of a 350z, a mitsubishi spyder or a mustang i wanted a corvette but they only give you 700 free miles Im still not sure about whether to stop in vegas or not. Do you have a link to the SILV show on supra forum so i can see if its worth a stop over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJButler Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah, I want to do the Grand Canyon trip too. I dont think a week will be long enough to fit it all in. If you do the Grand Canyon on your own and not part of a tour you really ought to go to Williams on I40 and get the train to the Canyon, don't be suprised if you see some guys with guns though. Sedona is also very popular paticularly with the women, lots of indian jewelery for sale and not to expensive. I love Arizona and my next flight leaves on 5 May but only for a couple of weeks this time, want to retire to AZ but her indoors won't leave the rain!!!!!!

Guest Grinder Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hire a car and have a drive down, i am doing the coastal road from LA to san francisco along to yosemite and down through death valley to the grand canyon. I am hiring a convertible for the journey, i have a choice of a 350z, a mitsubishi spyder or a mustang i wanted a corvette but they only give you 700 free miles I've done some of that journey - never got as far as Death Valley or Grand Canyon. I take it you're not planning to do this all in one day, as I heard someone suggest once? It is said its best to do San Fran to LA because you drive on the right nearer the edge cliff-road, but we went LA to SF as you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Its looking more and more likely that I'll be getting to Las Vegas for my 40th this year. Its just a matter of money, persuading my girlfriend, and seeing if I can get a cheap deal too. My mate was 40 recently, and we both said how good it would be to go there for a laugh and a celebration, so it could just happen. Hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
