the hoppers on the outside came of easy, the mess inside the radiator ducts still stinks

Looks like a good adventure, with the smiles on your face you must have had a great time. Good for you. Ed

Beautiful country, I'm envious.

WOW---I've never seen the front end of a P-car that goobered up with bugs.

very nice trip.. i bet it was a joy with top down trough all those places.

"Kills bugs fast." Looks like a great trip.

Looks like a great trip.

We don't get a lot of grasshoppers here but every 5 years or so we see the great butterfly migration in March. I just cleaned out my radiators and about 20 of those guys were still in there, along with sand, ciggy butts, paper trash, tire marbles, bird feathers, rabbit fur, and who knows what else. No $100 bills though. Rats!

When you get home you may want to pull the nose off the car and clean out your rads before those bugs get really nasty in there. :eek:

that's the kind of trip this car was made for.... looks like FUN!
