Three years ago, when we did our Wild West Tour we hired a car and it was the brand new (then) Chrysler 300. They had only just been introduced in the States and were not due for relase in the UK for two years. We loved it and it was a great car to have for a road trip that meant lots of hours in the car. Nigel loved it and couldn't wait to dream of having one of his own, which he eventually did.
When we went to Canada this summer we hoped we could hire one again - and we did, though of course they are 10 a penny now and where as before - and still to a certain extent in this country - you saw hardly any of them, in Canada most of the hire cars seemed to Chrysler 300's and so we saw hundreds. However, he still loved it.
He had designed us 'tour t shirts' before we went away (he always does this and then I print them onto really top class expensive Primark T shirts. His design this year was a play on the Kaiser Chiefs ... The Chrysler Chiefs - and so it was doubly important that we managed to get a silver Chrysler. The logo he designed was a mix of Back to the Future (one of his fave films) his car and Peyto lake, one of the symbols of the Rockies. The tour dates were ont he back - like with any good tour t shirt. Yes ... I know .... we need to get out more.
Anyway, the page here was made playing on that theme hence the Chrysler chiefs. It was a page made for Mel and Jill at A Trip Down Memory Lane this month using the lovely new Basic Grey periphery which I am totally hooked on. It just works so well with the colours of all the Canada pictures.
See now every year I take a photo of our holiday hire car, but I hardly ever think to scrap it. I must have a go at that. Mind your back drop is spectacular - better then the car parks ours are featured in.
