Sooooooooo....???
What do you do after a day at Georges place??
Really??
Of course you eat.
Driving "uptown" in Holly Springs, Mississippi we passed through every petrol heads nightmare.
Blue skies. Red lights. Great friends.
Saloon. Whore house. Restaurant. Burger joint. Fooooood !!
Phillips was a saloon in 1882 with a brothel operating above.
Right on the railroad crossing.
Steve, Larry and me.
The burgers n fries were just awesome.
Nothing new or fake in here.
Mud Island bottle made me think of England.
Once we were done and my Dr Pepper drained we headed back into Memphis, Tennissee
The day it seemed was long since not over.
There was more to come.
Steve again showed his incredible ability to navigate by the sense of a sewer rat, driving roads he had never driven to get us over to Horn Lake, Mississippi suburbs.
We were headed for Paul and Edna Kosma's place. (Google Paul's name and Bonneville salt flats racing)
Turns out Paul has an interesting history too. He and Edna met at art school and she still does metal work. He used to work for Harley Davidson and used to service the 12 HD's that Elvis kept for friends to use.
First thing we saw driving up onto his drive is this beauty.
Greeted warmly by Paul we see these jewels.
His large garage filled with machines packed in tightly, still used to make specialised parts for landspeed record cars and bikes.
Had this for years. Restored by himself.
The "World Bike" a basket case Ariel he restored with parts off Ebay from around the world.
Remember the blue first impressions roadster on the drive??
It has its own history.
Much of it also on the Salt Flats.
Want to go for a ride in it ? asked Paul
Did I mention the day was not yet over?
CLICKY LINKY:
Guess Karma was truely smiling on me.
After a fond farewell and an invitation to come back we all set off back to Arkansas.
You guys keeping up ??
Its still Tuesday..... WTF??
