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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 5:03 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Pretty Good Bus Artficle 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. -Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: sammie smith To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 5:57 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Pretty Good Bus Artficle 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.

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. -Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: sammie smith To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 9:25 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: Pretty Good Bus Article 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.
