@@elymental You're the girl to do it, too many classic car owners, simply don't have the trust or confidence in these old work horses. The way you threw your Midget with the K series engine around that track, you definitely have what it takes.... If you can only do a bit of the Rt Then Arizona has to be my favourite, California near AZ excellent, Pan handle of Texas, Lovely bits on whole of route, but for a long good run Arizona hard to beat. Spring or Autumn best times for Brit tolerable weather. Jim and me close to our best by dates, you've plenty of years in your tank... So do it but do it in a classic as you won't be likely to see another actually being driven: Plenty on drive ways and parked.

Totally agree with you Robert and you only put these toys away when your mum calls you in for tea 😅👍

Small world Millie is our bruch club mascot. Have to say Milly with her K series must be a wonderful drive. All the best and thank you for all your comments

The same to you elymental a brilliant name by the way, I'll celebrate having a West Yorkshire supporter with a pint of Ossett ale this evening 👍 Good friends and a good drive in old cars, always a good day out. Thanks for commenting

When you're over delivering a software sales seminar sometime Russ, we'll recreat the run with a few less wrong turns 😅👍

Many thanks for commenting, yes always a day I enjoy, good friends and driving old cars, what could be better 😎👍

Hope you got it back OK Emma and very grateful for the loan 😅👍. When's your next video out, I very much enjoyed the two wheels on the ground and skiding sounds as those two tyres kept hold... Personally I am expecting to see you on the track at Cadwell sometime (me watching of course rather than racing). All the very best and thanks for comments 👍

Hi Steve, I did mean to contact you and haven't forgotten, but not had much time due to other things. Do you have a regular club night anywhere as would like to met other like minded locals. I hadn't planned to go to Stody

I liked the slight differences of opinion as to the correct route - as you say, it gives us a chance to see other cars. And the 1098 sounds fine!

😂 The scenic route was most interesting Emma and if OK the next one will include a little bit of K series engine swap 👍

National Dave Day is the 3rd Wednesday of every month in the year preceeding Halleys Comet. I've marked it down as important to film...Hope that helps 👍

Each to their own Timothy and obviously the Frogeye 🐸 couldn't have been too disappointing or you wouldn't have purchased the Mk3 Midget.... MX5 certainly a fun car with aspects of the Midget, but modern comfort and reliability. Hopefully out in My Midget today with a smile on my face, loving every minute of it as I have for a long time... My only issue getting out is becoming harder 😅👍 Have a great day Johnny

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 At 72 I find getting IN and getting OUT equally difficult these days.

Have to say if I got the chance to do it again your choice of a 66 Mustang would be perfect 👍 Hoping my next look trip will be Rt66 Slovakia and Czech Republic...Thanks to some young Slovakians we met in a desert gas station

Many thanks Christopher much appreciated

Love your story Simon and both cars have my engine of choice, I love the 1098cc A series. Two great cars you have there. Am I right in thinking some Moggy's were built in Australia 🤔

Hi Jimmy, My first car was a Morris Traveller, like yours it had green moss growing in the rear window gutters, due to the drainage holes being clogged up. Spent my summer resurrecting it, that was back in 77, in 2017 I got myself another, which I am in the process of fully restoring at the minute. Once I've done I plan some long trips and never restoring another car 😅👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 that sounds like a fun project. My dad's car had holes in the floor through which we could see the road passing under us. Patches welded on over the final few years of it's life kept falling off.

Sounds like when I get mine back on the road Simon (about a year, as I am doing a lot on it, so having to use the Midget at the moment, which I also love), if you live in the UK we need to take it for a spin, do a nostalgia video. My first car was a Moggy Traveller in 1977, it had been my Uncles, I sold it and bought the MG Midget that I still have. However, I did like the Moggy and had great adventures in it, so in 2017 I purchased another Traveller, drove it from Stoke to Norwich on the day I picked it up, took it up to tye Highlands of Scotland the following Summer, the Ardennes in 2019 year, then in lockdown decided to tart it up, mistake as I took the timber frame off and made a big job of it. But once back on the road it will be adventure time. Hopefully will do Rt66 Slovakia in it, plus many shorter trips👍. A lottery win and I could do it next month 🤣👍 Many thanks for your Subscription very much appreciated 👍

Many Thanks, I'll let Jim know as it was/is his car, we used, he's in Hopkinsville Kentucky, so not close but you never know. Spoke to Jim and he is interested Here's his email jimbravard@gmail.com And I love your Frogeye Sprite 👍

No sense of adventure mate 😂

Jolly old day`s.

Many thanks DoubleZero. That sounds like an excellent perfect trip, if only I had the finances I could totally agree with your plan. At the moment I'm waiting for enough subscribers for UA-cam to start paying me something, then I'll start with the odd coffee and work my way up to a nice bit of American iron 🤣👍. Enjoy the cars you have and have a great day Johnny

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 I know that feeling, it’ll certainly help when there’s something coming in from UA-cam, parts for mine are all so expensive lol

@@DoubleZeroGarage Having looked at your channel, yours are definitely more exotic than mine 😅👍but hope we both do ok subscribers wise. As UA-cam started putting ads on my videos a while, I feel payments even pennies would be nice. All the best Johnny 👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 mine might be more exotic, but thankfully due to their age, they’re still as simple to work on as yours are lol. I agree, even pennies would be nice. Fingers crossed we both do well eventually

Fair enough oil burner ...I must try harder ..have a lovely weekend and any suggestions on music from the youtube library would be greatly appreciated... Naff music only at start and finish it was mostly engine noise, it you didn't watch it all try going to 6 minutes in 👍

Agree sadly not mine 🤣👍 But as you know all the best people have Travellers 😂

Ohh stop you flatterer... @@johnnywarnerperfectroad66

Only one thing would improve it Dave, Two Lynn (Kings Lynn) boys, one with a guitar doing it without any squit 🤣👍 Alderman Cattleugh Hits the Road (sorry Rudd)

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 .. Project for the summer then Johnny! I'll bring a Guitar and you provide the wheels! 🎸

Brilliant Stu..... Love the pictures it conjures up 🤣👍 Thanks for that all the best Johnny

Hi Bill thanks for the comment. Guess when I grow up, I might get an MGB, certainly more practical for long runs and comfortable.... but I am kinda in love with my old road going go kart, that I've had since 1981. Sadly one day I'll no longer be able to get in and out of it and it might have to be passed to a relative.

Too kind David, I am restoring my old 1960 Morris Traveller at the, a year or more's work at my speed. Can't wait to start having adventures again in it, and make a few UA-cams... Rt 66 in Slovakia and Czech Republic my plan, but will do a few more local trips first 👍 And many thanks for being my 230th subscriber

Many thanks Vince and much appreciated Johnny 👍

Just working on my Traveller at the moment but look forward to checking out one of your videos this evening 👍 very much appreciated

Much appreciated comments, the music is from the UA-cam editing library and I try to fit stuff that suits and I like. I can't give you the artists I am afraid, but for the US 66 stuff I have generally search wild West, blues, piano, country and guitar

Yes I was very well treated, by a wide range of folk... McLean Texas the friendliest small town, but found pretty much all small town America in the states I went to not far behind and can't say I met a bad person. Guess I generally enjoy people and new places. First videos I made when I got home were of some of the nice folk I met, felt I owed them that 👍. If ever I can afford to go back, I'll do Dollywood...Not that I am a big Dolly fan, but love the idea she gave back to the community that raised her, I love that ethos 👍

Many thanks, adventure of a lifetime for me, I'd never been to the States till then. Flew into Nashville, got picked up by Jim and his family and headed to Kentucky, Spent a few days in good old Hopkinsville and then we took the Midget up to Chicago, where we had hoped some other folk would join us and then off on various adventures to Santa Monica. Met loads of lovely people and of course had to drive back again. 7 weeks I'll never forget, especially as I'm still paying off the cost 🤣👍LOL Many thanks for your kind comments and looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic videos...Kind Regards Johnny

Yes please!

Entertaining myself really in two passions I enjoy (classic car drives and video editing along with meeting and talking to folk) people's comments and subscribing to my channel a real and enjoyed bonus. If ever in Norfolk UK give us a shout, I'll take you for a run 👍

cool! Thanks

I very much appreciate your comments Paul, have a wonderful and prosperous New Year 👍 Many thanks Johnny

Big boi's toy very nice and obviously the only colour to have for a sports car... Unless you want summut else 👍 Totally with you on the heater and half tonneau... Hope you still have the Lotus will look out for it All the best Johnny

​@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 Hi Johnny Ill keep my eyes open for you too.

LOL...Though having done Rt66 both ways in one last year the only problem breakdown wise was due to, too much off roading and fun driving, the exhaust (muffler) bracket fixed to the boot (trunk) needed welding back 🤣👍

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 Nothing matches driving a Midget...pure fun....Sometimes just watch the Rte66 youtubes...very nostalgic. I had that same color Midget. Stuck in a snow bank? Just open the door ...push with one foot and pop right out. I should add, drove mine from Dartmouth, NS to my parents in Ft. Lauderdale...no problems

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 Spent a lot of time with the Brits... home in Marbella for many years. Crossed paths with Sean C on the tennis courts as well.

Very nice and totally agree a fun drive

Will do as soon as I stop writing this. Many thanks for your kind comments. Too old fools in an open top MG Midget what could be better and what possibly could have gone wrong 😅👍

Thanks Paul, Really appreciate your comments. I like to think I have that pioneering instinct that if the wheels fall off, we'll get there somehow. I think my Kentucky friend Jim, has a similar view, however others might see us as a couple of foolish old men.... a country bumpkin from Norfolk UK and a Hillbilly. Certainly was a trip that proved to me these old buses can do more than most folk realise (not however, in comfort though not a vehicle for those liking luxury lol). Inspired me to taken a 1500 mile trip to the Scottish Highlands and back in my 1964, this last summer, in fact one of the first things I did when I got home was to book my Midget into a show at Brodie Castle near Elgin, Scotland. A flight over Grand Canyon in your aircraft now that would be something Paul. All the best and enjoy those cars in whatever way gives you the most smiles Johnny 👍

Johnny. I just realized your trip is like the tv show here in the states called Route 66! Except a better theme song for the show is one by John Coltrane. as you add songs to your road trips (and I like your selection of music for them) I suggest you listen to his. Thanks again Buddy. Say hi to Jim!

Good to hear Rod, I'd have loved to have seen some of those small towns and attractions in their heyday. I also imagine that even in the 1980s they would have still been thriving with small businesses. Thanks for you comments and all the very best Johnny 👍

I lived in AZ for a number of years and enjoyed driving in the northern high desert of the state. Sounds like the Midget has been performing admirably in your travels! Please tell how a Brit from Lotus land in the UK and teamed up with a sports car guy from Kentucky.

That is my friend from Hopkinsville Kentucky, Jim Bravard. I have to say my favourite small town on the trip was in Texas, McLean, most friendly and welcoming place on the trip for me.

@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66 great! happy to have you in Texas. except i enjoy yourdriveing arroundin n mexico. thanks Yeah Baby!

Not as good as the Arminghall and going through fords in a Triumph Herald cameraman though😎 👍

Welcome to JazzClub.......Niiiice 🤣👍

Much appreciated, totally agree bobdadruma and certainly more smiles per mile than most cars for not so much money All the best Johnny 👍

Once I get a mic I can keep in the car whilst camera is outside I will do that for you. But at the moment wind noise makes sound unlistenable for most folk. Thanks for comment 👍

Very good beer Jim and myself like the odd pint, Big Texan, Amarillo brewed a good pint too, though Great Divides Yeti Stout top pint of the trip for me 🤣👍

I'll have to look for the Great Divide Yeti next time I'm out that way...Thanks!@@johnnywarnerperfectroad66

Nice of you to say a pity our paths didn't cross sooner would have been good meeting up somewhere on route. We got a number 6 or some such chain motel blue red sign after the rain. On the way back we got Jim's Childhood dream and stopped in the Wigwam Motel ... I had a tight budget so couldn't push boat out too much, plus it was 7 weeks on the road. All the best Johnny
