Hi everyone at oldgas, My name is larry and i'm from Melbourne Australia,(pronounced Melbn) I went to the U.S. about a year ago, with 4 of my mates, We spent a month driving around through 15 states and although i have always loved American Muscle cars, i fell in love with your country, We went to a swap meet in Carlisle PA, Since getting back home i have been bitten by the "All old Americana" stuff especially Petroliana, I have an unrestored Texaco Fire Chief, Wide Body Wayne 60 "gas pump" somewhere on the Pacific ocean at the moment on its way to Australia, and will be looking for lots more Stuff, My Son and i would like to build an old style American Gas Station,
Thanks and Regards, larry

Thanks Ryan, Draden and Junk King for the welcome and Thanks also oilcanman, i might have to bring 2 suit cases full of money, and just the clothes that i was wearing, i'd buy clothes in the U.S. they're much cheaper than here in Australia !!!! I do hope to get back to the U.S. in 2015, i will probably go to the Indianapolis 500 again and then spend the next 4 weeks trying to get to swap meets and places with "good junk"
Thanks again, larry
