Sir Paul McCartney is enjoying a road trip with new girlfriend Nancy Shevell.The former Beatle has shunned traditional holiday destinations in favour of driving along America's legendary Route 66 in a classic 1989 Ford Bronco.The couple left Paul's New York home last Thursday (30.07.08) and are expected to stay together for all of August - their longest time together since they were first linked last November. News of the trip emerged after Paul posed for pictures with a group of fans at a service station in Springfield, Illinois on Saturday (01.08.08) after travelling almost 1,000 miles since setting out.One fan, CJ Lowder, said: "They looked totally in love."Nancy jumped at the chance to take a picture of Paul with us."They told us they were on a rip and going to St. Louis before heading west. No one could believe it was really him - he was so laidback and ordinary.
