Just when i thought the story of my little car "Juppy" had come to an end after selling him at the start of the year, his history has taken a twist I never imagined. The Lane motor museum in Tennessee has bought him!!
He arrived on US soil last week and will be traveling around America for a while to various shows before eventually arriving at the museum were he will retire.
I'm really pleased that a little Panda I restored has been handpicked to be in a place like that.

The first place he went to when he got out of customs was a "gas" station.

[font face="Comic Sans MS"]Wow!! What a wonderful story for a little Panda...
You should ask the museum's director that we'd like to see some photos of your Panda on the American soil!!![/font id="Comic Sans MS"]

I'll post up any photo's that come my way as he travels and yes I have asked for special ones when he gets into the museum.

Here's the link to his history since I got him for anyone who may be interested in his background.

Latest update.

Yesterday Fred took time out from his mechanic duties and decided to have a little fun with a friend he'd met.

Today Jim, Fred and Juppy take on the longest part of their trip, well up to now. 1000 miles to Tennessee. They started out early this morning but the weather isn't making things easy, even with Juppy being a 4x4.

[img:17so9zxn]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v280/juppy/111snowpandajo.jpg[/img:17so9zxn]

It has to be beared in mind to that Juppy already has 112,000 miles under his belt so it's not lost on us who know the car that this is a major test for him.

what beautiful pictures!

Spot the Panda!
