How long do you think that would take. Couple hours due to the time changes, I bet!!! Actually, it might be negative hours going west for you!!! :? :lol:

I just got to find some gas stations along the way.. :lol:

I sure hope the wife comes along it could be an excessively long drive as well.

Time going backwards could have an effect on it as well. Kerry want to meet half way? :D :D

Crossing the Atlantic

Postby eamarquardt » Sat Dec 15, 2007 7:05 am

If you decide to cross the Atlantic I wouldn't recommend driving unless your car will definitly float , but not indefinatly (copied from an old VW commercial). Should you consider sailing, a friend of my (after 1.5 circumnavigations) said: "Nothing goes to weather like a 747". Worth considering.

Cheers,

Gus

Hi Gus.

Id take a 747 anyday than try to Navigate across the Atlantic. Even though I did find it a pleasurable trip crossing the Atlantic when we delivered a new Cruise Liner over to Miami back in 97.

Now that was interesting.
