Re: [MBZ] 16V Princess

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

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?

Werner,

You have a point, but "Panzerwagen" was basically a description
because "she" has truly been "bulletproof"!!

I recently threw out a new name for the 300SD of "Queen
Mother"  and the 16V was "the pretender to the throne" since
I don't know her and then "Princess" that implies some hierarchy
within this "family"..

I'll tell all how much of a "Princess" the 16V is after the drive
back from Louisville to Phoenix... I'll be going from Louisville
(where Cheap Charley has allowed me the use of a sleeping bag for
Friday night) to Memphis on Saturday to visit w/Mike McGrory, thence
to Dallas on Sunday and head west on I-30/I-20/I-10 to Phoenix..

 All keep fingers crossed, please.  And thanks./...  Cell phone and
Laptop (a Mac iBook) to keep in touch with this wonderful world...

Take care,

Chuck
