" Macca and new love Nancy get their kicks on Route 66 "


" Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell have stepped their romance up a gear with a road trip across America.

The former Beatle and his heiress girlfriend have been fulfilling a lifelong dream travelling the remains of the legendary Route 66 highway in an old Ford Bronco truck.

After starting their road trip from the rocker's home in The Hamptons, New York last Thursday, the couple joined the Route 66 in Illinois on Saturday.

The couple plan to follow the route, which was decommissioned in the mid-1980s, all the way to the end at Santa Monica pier in Los Angeles.

As the 66-year-old rocker and his love follow the road, which originally ran from Chicago to LA, they will pass through seven U.S. states, including Arizona and Missouri.

As the pair stopped for a re-fuel in the Illinois state capital of Springfield, Sir Paul was happy to pose with a group of fans for photos.

As Nancy took the photo, a group of young males posed alongside Sir Paul, who predictably put on his trademark thumbs up.

C.J. Lowder, the man wearing sunglasses in the photo, said: 'They looked totally in love.

'They told us they were on a trip and going on to St Louis (Missouri) before heading west.

'No one could believe it was really him - he was so laid back and ordinary. They seemed a great couple.'

The month-long road trip is believed to be the couple's longest holiday - they previously vacationed together in the Caribbean in April.

A source said: 'The road trip was Nancy's idea as a way of them getting to bond and spend time together - just the two of them.'

Sir Paul and Nancy have been dating since November, but only went public as a couple in May when the singer picked up an honorary doctorate in music from America's prestigious Yale University. "

J'kins !

As a kid, my family and I traveled Route 66 every summer---from Calif. to Ill. And I used to live in Springfield, Ill. So, if 1 + 1 = 2, then I must be a MACCA fan.....eh?

huh ~ didnt realize Paul has a house in the Hamptons! Lots of actors, producers and famous people like J-Lo live there. Its ultra expensive, prime real estate at the tip of Long Island 2-3 hours from 'the city'. Beautiful sandy beaches. sophisticated area and those who can surely afford the best!

Too much, could NOT imagine happening upon Sir Paul at a Springfield gas station  

I wonder if he still owns the ranch in Arizona?

Don't underestimate the Force.........

You will beloved by zooeyglass if you continue to keep us posted on Macca's travels, Joey!  This is such a hoot, I love it!!

My best friend actually lives in Joliet; alas, she is not much of a Beatles fan and would be much loved by Joey...

" Paul McCartney goes camping "

" Sir Paul McCartney has shunned expensive hotels in favour of camping.

The 66-year-old musician is currently on a US road trip with girlfriend Nancy Shevell, and the pair decided to spend a night under the stars when they arrived at Bennett Springs State Park in Missouri last weekend.

A fellow camper said: "It was incredible to see one of the world's richest musicians going back to basics.

"They didn't seem to have a care in the world as they laughed and joked with each other."

After spending the night in their tent, the couple further amazed onlookers when they set off on a hike in stifling heat.

A source explained to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was nearly 30 degrees but the heat didn't slow them down at all.

"They were like two teenagers on a first date - it was really sweet.

"They were seen tucking into sandwiches. Paul even had a cheeky bottle of stout which he had packed away."

Back in the early 80's, my sister met Paul on the beach at Amagansett & they smoked weed together.

" No American source would use Celsius! "

Blue ............................

I was thinking the same thing .

Celsius ?!


********* WTF ?! ********

Who knows? I just can't imagine anyone visiting the Ozarks. Seems dreary.

Joey, don't defend the Ozarks. That's where all the toothless meth heads live. And no, I don't watch crappy "pro shot" videos as I don't like getting seasick.
