But, Dan, Sammy is concerned with his ass and back from driving hours and hours 
in a bench seat. My seats are from a Sirocco, and even then the ass gets tired 
when you're old like Sammy.

  Yes, still need the mat.  My bus is running but I don't think I will be at 
any shows before the Classic.  If you meet up with Peter or any of the San 
Antonio crowd feel free to do a hand off.  I appreciate you holding on to the 
stuff for me.

  As far as the trip you could do it in the bus - no problem.  Just make sure 
everything is tuned well and carry lots of extra parts.  Whatever you carry 
with you will not break.  Take the back roads not the interstate and ENJOY 
YOURSELF, that is the key.  I can't wait till my new bus is ready for a road 
trip.

    Yes, but you are young!  And Dan, do you still want the front bus mat?  
Also, I still have your front bus clip.  Talked to Peter and he said he might 
be coming to the Nac show.  If either of you are you can make arrangements to 
pick them up.  If not, maybe we can make arrangements to bring them to the Tx 
Classic in April.

      In 2002 I drove my Binz from the East Coast of Florida out to the (CA) 
Classic, then up to Seattle, then back home to Florida.  I did it all in like 
three weeks.  Was around 6,000 miles.  Only problem I had was breaking rocker 
arm washers.  I switched to solid rocker shafts after I got back.  It was a 
great trip.

        OK, that article has some element of encouragement, for I too am 
thinking of a road trip.  No trailer, just taking the Denis 
"Trip-of-a-lifetime."  The CA Bug-In is Sunday April 6.  From April 7 to 11 
there is the ultimate in VW cruises up the Pacific Coast Highway from LA to San 
Francisco visiting such places as Pismo Beach, Big Sur and Morrow Bay and 
returning to Ventura for the VW Treffen X on Saturday April 12.  Sort of along 
the way I need to make a side trip to Durango CO.  The entire trip would be 
approximately 4,500 miles.  And no, not in a VW bus, but in the Baja.  Should I 
do it?  Well, I am thinking about it strongly but not sure I want to attempt it 
or not.

        If you are interested in looking at the itinerary for this amazing 
once-in-a-lifetime VW cruise go to Airhead Parts web site and look it up   
www.airheadparts.com  You can also see some details on page 35 of the April 
issue of Hot VWs.
