Hudo Decides to Linger a while in Wilmington NC
Heidi had been enjoying her trip down the East Coast of the US. As one might expect from an octagenarian on an around-the-world-voyage, Hudo has had some issues. In Wilmington NC, Hudo has experienced technical difficulties. We have found a re-enactment of the event on youtube. (Click HERE to see the 9 second clip.) Though the preliminary diagnosis was a thrown rod, upon disassembly it appears that Hudo re-ingested a piston ring. According to the instagram posts, parts are on the way from California. (Note: Some inaccuracies in the above summary may be due to my poor skills at translating German.) We wish Heidi and Hudo a speedy recovery from this delay, and all the best on the rest of their journey.
Heidi’s March through the South Continues

And at a recent car show, Hudo found his evil alter-ego. Click on Hudo’s picture to see the “Anti-Hudo”.

Hudo In Times Square
What a great picture. I’ll bet it’s been a long time since Times Square has seen the likes of Heidi and her 1930 Hudson. Heidi will be part of the Fall Meet in Hershey PA from October 7 – 10.

The Greatest City in the World
Despite the accident with her and hand and all the mechanical issues with Hudo, Heidi has made it to New York City. She has driven from Berlin to NYC by going East, which is quite an accomplishment in itself. Not to mention that a lot of people would consider just visiting NYC as an adventure worthy of the bucket list. However, Heidi is still on her adventure to drive around the world. Best of luck to her, and enjoy the pizza.
