Chuck -
Yes, the coordinating of the 50th events is a tough nut to crack. And
figuring out how to control and pre-pay the costs isn't an easy task, for
sure.
We hope to do the thing coast to coast AND Starfest, and then a leisurely
drive back East. The cars certainly are up to it, as we did it last winter
in the 124. Thinking of doing it in the 126 this time - will 'cost' about 2
mpg more, but more room and comfort. But it will take a lot of time -
probably at least 5 weeks, maybe more when all is said and done. Not too
practical if you're not retired!
Expect to see you somewhere enroute and in Vegas!

Werner,
I did entertain a "midnight excursion of thought" that had to do w/
putting a hitch on the 300SD and hooking a 2 wheel dolly for the 16V
to take both to StarFest in Las Vegas...... But the morning light
doused that idea....
I'm involved w/trying to coordinate a StarTrip from the four corners
of the US....... Seems like too many eggs got into the nest at one
time and some just won't hatch.......
At this time, the Route 66 run just does not seem to fit in w/my
plans to attend StarFest in Vegas ......
Hope to see you somewhere along the line and hope all is going well
healthwise.......
Take care,
Chuck

Good luck on your trip. Assuming the 16V lives up to expectations,
you will
have to decide which one to use on the route66 run - or maybe both?
