****************************
While Scott and I do share a close facsimile of Steve's opinion above,
Scott did not solicit either VoA or Disney. Both offered support and
money for the 50th Anniversary of the Karmann Ghia Introduction Cruise
(the original title for the on-going event) on their own and it
mushroomed into a much larger event tie-ing into VoA's 50th as well as
the plug for the new Disney Herbie-Fully Loaded movie. Much of the
on-going cruise and it's activities wouldn't be happening without
their support, so it's basically take their $$ and run with it.
Rachel w/her Single Cab Pickup is in her way repping the Vintage Bus
"volks", along with other "volks" with their rides are coming in from
other points to participate in short (or long durations).
For those who are interested (or are not interested - you can hit the
delete key anytime), I'm passing on the latest "short" intinerary
provided by Richard Troy of the KGCNA. All within reasonable driving
range are invited to participate, regardless of your valid (or
invalid) opinions:
Here's the raw data on our next few days of meeting points where the press
has been invited to attend. ALL of you are welcome! Please come join us
and also please share with other KG friends and VW enthusiasts...
Notes:
1) Contact numers are not repeated if their number has already been
provided in this list.
2) The number after the address is the event's zip code
3) ALL TIMES ARE LOCAL, and ALL TIMES ARE APROXIMATE!

More when possible...
We would all really love to see as many of our K.G.
and VW friends as possible and we would like to ask you to please help us
reach out to those we may have (probably have) overlooked to contact about
our Cruise.
We know there are many VW clubs en-route. Please take a fresh look at our
Cruise route ( http://www.airheadparts.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=1
) and think of the clubs whose teritory we'll be entering. We
would appreciate it if you can please then contact them and tell them
about the Karmann Ghia 50th Anniversary Cruise, and that Herbie is with
us, too.
