Cinci only puts you about 100+ miles from Ft. Knox's Patton Museum.

thanks was fast reply Robin...thanks for the link
so it's 161 km ... that's quite far...

i wish i can have the time to visit the musuem....i wish..i wish

I love the American sense of proportion when it comes to distance. It must be the only place where a hobbyshop 100 miles away is regarded as 'local'... :-)
But I do agree, that a 100 mile trip for a 'once in a lifetime' museum visit is worth the effort.

Reminds me of that old joke

A Texas farmer has flown to England to visit a relative, also a farmer. Straight of the plane, the Texan keeps commenting how everything they pass is so small, and how it's so much bigger in Texas.
When they arrive at the English Cousin's farm, the Texan comments how his farm is much bigger than his Cousin's. 'Why', he boosts, ' it takes me three whole days to drive right around my farm'. To which his English Cousin wryly replied: ' yeah, I had a car like that once'.

thanks guys for the input...and the link the the museum..

yeah i cant see why the americans love to drive thousand miles away ... maybe because you got a huge country ... i dont have any problem driving for a long distance trip... last month i drove about 900 km (560 miles) for 4 hours to get the the east coast...and it was fun...
100 miles is nothing like grumpy said it's just to warm arm the engine...actually, it's 140 miles and thw ride will take about 2 hours 39 mins(according to google maps)..

ok, i alreadt browse the patton museum website and already google the directioned from cincinati to fort knox...

the problem maybe lies on my driving licence...maybe i can check whether i need an international driving permit or not...
then to get a car and drive on the wrong side of the road...with wrong side of steering wheel installed... must be a challange...and the speed limit.. i have a habit of driving fast... might not a good idea to break another country's law!
and to drive back to cinci and mayeb i could drive all the way back to newark and get my flight home...

the other problem is with my collegue that accompany me..he's not into this stuff and a quite type person...i will try to pursue him to join me...

i agreed with jazza that this is a worth place to visit with the company's money.. ..

so many things still uncertain at the moment... but i have to take note on this visit....who know when will i get a chance to visit the USA with the taxpayer's money... hehe

Do you have the option of flying out of Louisville, Kentucky?

After driving in Malaysia, I'll bet driving in Ohio would be really easy. Just stay with the flow of traffic and don't tailgate and you'll be fine. You might want to find a companion to be your navigator.

Another great military vehicle collection in Ohio is in Hubbard (near Youngstown), but it is more than twice the distance from Cinncinatti. Here's a link anyway. http://www.wwiivehiclemuseum.com/

Hello From Cleveland Ohio, If you can make it north to Dayton, OH. The Wright Patterson Air Force Base is there. Lots of Vintage WW2 fighter and bomber planes there you can visit.

Go west young man-
New Jersey is loaded with hobby shops just across the river.

Ridgefield Hobbies is just across the river, about 3 miles from the George Washington Bridge, from the Lincoln Tunnel (Midtown) just across the river and about 8 miles up route 1&9. (Took Mr Mox here when he visited)
Hi-Way Hobby, up route 17.
Hobby Hut farther west on Rt 80 to 23, a little more westward, there is F&M on Rt 10-- right down the road from me, and a little more west on Rt46 is Kenil Hobbies, about 8 miles from my house. All the previous listed are with in a 30 minute drive for me
A little farther drive for me are: Maplewood Hobbies, in Central Jersey, located off the Parkway (NOT THE TURNPIKE ) and Hobby-Masters in Red Bank also off the Parkway. (Not the Turnpike!!) Can't help with the southern shops as I don't need to travel that far.

I'll PM you my phone number,
Newark airport is about 40 minutes away.

If you stay in Newark, becareful, as it's not exactly a friendly town, (Like is high in crime to say the least) If you and I can get a day off together, I'd be happy to give the tour.
