When I was in the US on "business" in 1994, I got to spend a day at Universal Studios and went on the "Back to the Future" ride which I have to say, was awesome.
He's never forgiven me for it. :lol:

I was there in May '94. Pretty close to the Independence Day weekend (missed Indy by a week but got to Charlotte Motor Speedway).
Did I say I was there on "Business"? :wink:
Oh well, three day sin Akron met that requirement. :cool:
