I left Minnesota right at the start of the rainy weather. It was sunny the
whole time I was there. Eleven days, 2000 miles of driving and the only LBC
I saw on the road was a nice Jaguar convertible in Rochester. On the return
trip to Montana, I decided to drive through South Dakota instead of North
Dakota.
I did finally see a couple of parked British cars in the town of Murdo
(population 560). A Triumph Spitfire was topless, exposed to the elements,
and looked like it had been parked in the same spot on the west side of
town for many years, maybe ten years since the license plates were from
'91. Murdo's claim to fame is a car museum which was closed when we were in
town. But outside the museum was parked a Sunbeam Rapier which later was
gone so apparently its still in use. The museum's main attraction according
to the billboards is the authentic original General Lee from the Dukes of
Hazzard TV show. However, they also claim they have the world's largest
roadster - picture here:

I have to admit that it sure beat some other great tourist attractions I
have driven by this year including the world's largest cow (North Dakota)
and the world's largest prarie dog (Kansas).
