All of the band’s econolines have run to six figure mileages- involved in transport and shipping.  Other of course than brakes , tires etc cetra.  There is nothing boring about stone cold reliability of transport – whether it is sixteen degrees outside and there is a club 400 miles from the highway.

General Motors as well as Chrysler may have cut costs by sticking to unibody construction, but framelessness undercuts their durability as well as reliability.  It also made rust – a given in vans from the 60′s , seventies and eighties no matter who built them – in even more serious problem.  Rust is not a big factor anymore.  Yet bands will still notice in their transport as well as shipping concerns the fact that Chevrolet and GMC have done what Ford did in 1975 and then introduced a new full size van in 1997 – featuring a separate frame.

Gourmet Food Travels

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Award winning cookbook as well as travel writers and experts Cheryl and Bill Jamieson recently left the comforts of their New Mexico home, with its elaborate kitchen and wine cellars, to circle the globe, globe-trotting on a 3 month gourmet food endeavor and tasting extravagant.

What was encountered met and tasted, was street food, home cooking as well as “haute cuisine” from around the world.  The resulting book and manual is entitled “Around the World in 80 Diners”.

From a face-off with hungry lions in South Africa to a Chiu Chow banquet put together by forty chefs, it’s a more than excellent read and culinary source manual for an unbelievable as well as not forgettable mix of traveling tales, stories and recipes galore.
