Sounds like it'll be an amazing trip, and from what I've seen in the past with you two going the pictures will be well worth the wait too.
As for being lucky, I don't believe that for a second, you make your own luck... Good on ya, marvel at some random J kit for me ;D

stop by tuning shops and ask for rides in cars, some friends of mine did that and got high speed passenger rides on the express ways, with a drunk tuning shop owner driving. also go up mountains and photo the drifting that goes on...so much you should do.. so little time. don't sleep leave that for the plane ride home

Hey everyone, just remember, when they're off having fun in J, we'll still be enjoying the cold sleety wet nasty UK.
I just wanna know the real pay off to the wives. I can't even begin to imagine what I'd have to do to get even a weekend away.....

Just to add the details of Larry's Beetle: Basically its a RHD '53 Oval.. To someone outside the VW scene, it would probably look like any other Beetle so to make it easy, here are the distinguishing features... RHD with a silver aluminium push button starter to the right of the steering wheel. Semaphores in the door pillar welded up. Orange indicator housings in the headlamps Fuel gauge in the ashtray (these are very rare) Here are a few pics.. Its hard to describe as the car will no doubt be changed. members.aol.com/lightye4r/Ovalfront.jpg members.aol.com/lightye4r/Ovalrear.jpg members.aol.com/lightye4r/Ovalint.jpg As you can see.. its got a 60's steering wheel and to change it you would need to replace the whole steering column, so chances are it would still be on there. If you guys could keep an eye open you would be making a still heartbroken man very happy Cheers guys

Very envious, I think it'll be a few years before I ever get to go. Look forward to pic's! Make sure you take some rides with scary drivers in lairy Cedric/Gloria/CROWN taxis. And take pic's of them too.
Had fun on jaunts to shows in Norway and Holland back in pre-kid days, I'll live off the memory of them for a while.

She's off for a weekend in the Vegas with her sister ... Ahhh, that's where I went wrong... So the way to do it pack the other half on a great trip with her best mate, and then you are free to go guilt free. Simon, remind me of this next time

Nice one I hope you enjoy it. Ive loved it every time I have been but its always been work related so never had much chance to look round. Hopefully I will be going again later in the year though so have to wait and see.
