My Charlie from the day we collected her from the breeder was car sick. she did exactly the same, dribble like anything then throw up.
there are several things i did.
1) she travelled in the front seat of the car (with a harness on) and i know it sounds a bit dodgy but i drove along keeping my hand under her chin so she was looking forward.
2) try pointing things out of the window to get her attention, like cows, horses, sheep etc.
4) Don't feed her at least 2 hrs before going out
3) if she was sick i never made an issue out of it, it will only reinforce her anxiety feeling.
4) Kalmaid - this is a caramel flavoured liquid she had every day in her diner or straight from your hand. she was on it for a good 6 months, sounds a long time but stick with it. it works. Charlie is now weaned off it and is ok. she still sits in the front with me and dribbles a little but not sick.
we have not done a long journey yet but so good so far. http://www.vetuk.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1370
