Who knows they might cover some of the costs/ or provide accommodation at all the VW dealerships across this great continent or alternatively provide support (technical, moral, philosophical) along the way, especially if it is pitched as having some societal benefit (any ideas?).

At any rate lets hear from anyone interested in co-editing a letter - all ideas are welcome.
