Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

The Ford museum certainly looks a lot different from when I visited in 1991.

That Ford Mk IV in the last pic was at Goodwood a few years ago.

Great pics and looked an interesting trip...

Wow lots of nice cars and what a trip

Great photos.

Great photos and story lines Si

Thank you for sharing them.

Thanks all, it was a great trip, what an awesome week, looking back through the photos I’m still taking it all in

We couldn’t have fitted anymore in, everything we did and saw exceeded our expectation

For anyone heading over in the summer months this could be a good focal point, the Woodward Dream Cruise takes place in August every year, it is the world’s largest one-day automotive event, drawing 1.5 million people and 40,000 classic cars each year from around the globe—from as far away as New Zealand, Australia, Japan and the former Soviet Union. North American cruisers from California, Georgia, Canada and all points in between caravan to Metro Detroit to participate in what has become, for many, an annual rite of summer

normally I would recommend viewing with a brew, but you may need oxygen for this one

If you’ve not seen it The Grand Tour S03E01 ‘Motown Funk’ (yes I stole their title) is well worth a watch …

In the first episode of season 3, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May make a pilgrimage to Detroit to drive three highly tuned muscle cars (Mustang, Demon, Camaro) on the deserted streets of this once-great motor city

Requiem for Detroit ...

check out the Julien Temple film "Requiem for Detroit", it's very good, came across this documentary tv movie first shown in 2010 on BBC4 whilst researching things to do in Detroit, a documentary about the decay and industrial collapse of America's fourth largest city, eventually found a copy of Requiem for Detroit online to stream that's not been over-dubbed ...

then you'll get a screen with thumbnails of the movie, click the 'play' button in the centre of that panel, just like on youtube

it'll then open a new window, close it, it's advertisements / pop-up Bananarama!, although I’ve not had any trouble with it at all would recommend up to date antivirus etc, just in case

back on the screen with thumbnails of the movie, click the 'play' button in the centre again, the movie will play

I’ve run it on 2 pc’s and it run’s thro fine
