This could be fun, we could travel the East & Midwest, SouthEast...
Join for a day, join for the duration. Anyone interested enough to take on the planning with me?
This should be an unofficial undertaking.

If there is enough interest I'm in.

I guess I'm kinda thinking like POWER TOUR. Some people go a little, some people go a lot.
All backroads kinda stuff for us, though.

You know we could always start small, maybe a tour
of Indiana via the back roads. I could work out the stuff for NWI, A nice drive along the lake shore area?

I think there would be a need for a support vehicle.
A beer truck with a few extra parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Seriuosly, something to consider I think would be
stop points and where & who could help if anyone
had problems. Kind of like we did for Joan on her
cross country drive.

What if it were a relay-type of event where a few 914s drive for awhile on an organized route carrying a club _____ and take photos of it at select places? That way we could all drive a little and leverage the fun. Make each leg a days drive or so, so we could meet up with 914s in neighboring towns...

The trick would be to organize the route and get 914s to sign up for individual legs of the journey, ans slect rendezvous points.

And for the finale...have it end at the West Coast Classic next year. Then we do the flip flop next year and it ends at the ECR or some other EC event.

We could probably get sponsorships for gas/parts and media attention if it were well done.

MY Yamaha Motorcycle club did an around the world relay with a bag (really nice backpack type).
(IMG:http://mywebpages.comcast.net/paulmichelle/xjrelay/images/side.jpg) A fellow Yamaha lover picked the bag up in New Zealand and started the relay. It went all through Europe, The US, South America, Canada, England, and many other places.
An early site with some dead content.
(I'll try to dig up some of the mpg's of news coverage.)
Everyone entered something in the log, put something in the bag, took pictures and enjoyed meeting other Yamaha XJ members. I added a patch from the Natchez Trace Parkway, a federal parkway that runs from the Nashville area down to Natchez, MS. Reading the log was a blast. Meeting the other memeber was the icing on the cake. I (In the Jacksonl, Mississippi area) met some guys from Texas brought the bag up to Madison, then down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We shipped the bag VIA fed-ex to members over-seas. It has been around the world twice now and just finished up in Oregon.
I'm all for something like this as I enjoyed it so much before. We pitched in and had patches made for the relay riders. It had our logo and the XJ World Relay stiched on it. Let me know what I can do to help.

Interesting idea. I was thinking about a road trip in the Spring. But, I've got a destination in mind, The Porsche Rennsport Reunion II.

It would be 2,200 miles round-trip for me. April is a good time to head south.

Hay: There is a guy from the 911 board is trying to set up a trip to the Rennsport Reunion this spring. He lives in Mich. so far he has ( to my knowledge) my self and Tab Tanner signed on . Plans call for trip down I-75 with planed stops to pick up newbes, and motels . There are a lot of P.Cars in Mich. ,Ohio , Kentucky, Tenn. ,Georgia,and Fl.
THis was posted on P.P. Great Lakes Board. I will edit with his E-Mail. Sounds fun to me Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif)

I'll be watching this thread closely. Set a date early. Stick to it. Everyone change your plans, call in sick, quit your job, fix your car, what ever it takes. I have started working on the Alien again. This may be the event that gets me out of the garage.

I'd second the NE route.

I spent roughly 20 months working contract assignments in Mass and CT. and wished I had my 914 with me. The back roads out there are narrow, winding and often line by stone fence walls. Not to mention the amount of historic places in close proximity to each other, such as Lexington and Concord.

As a side trip, a day on Martha's Vinyard would be great adventure. Imagine the ferry loaded with 10 to 20 914's headed across the bay to the island. Been there with my wife, but without a vehicle, we were doing our sight seeing via the island bus system.

Or a day or two on Cape Cod! Again, great roads, great food and tons of seenery.

Any thoughts on this?

I'm in. It can't really start or finish at the West Coast Classic because that's already a week long event, so people who wanted to go to that and the duration of the tour would have to take three weeks off. Ouch.

If you are doing a relay, why not re-create one of the best folk ledgends of all time: Steal a pink flamingo from someone's yard, take it around the country, then sneek it back into the original yard with a bunch of photos of where it's been...Grand Canyon, Empire State Building, The Green Monster, Las Vegas, Niagra Falls, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
