No not the cannon ball run:)

I am leaving New Jersey (Blackwood) around 8AM and heading for Los Alamitos, Ca. (Orange County)

I will be driving a 2009 Setra motor coach white with no marking, NJ dealer plate:)

Anyone what to meet along the way reach out for me. Most likely taking I-76 to I-70 West then dropping down to I-40 at some point.

Phone is six zero nine 672 6809

Plan is to fly home.

Wait what? Setra motor coach as in these things? I had no idea you got them in the States, always thought it was Europe only. Sounds like one hell of a drive, I would love to do a trip like that, enjoy it!

First Setra's were shipped over in '86-'87? Then it was Kassorbora(SP?) now it part of Damilar.
Model are 407 & 417 every now and then the ship a two door coach:up:

Maybe, on your next trip, you can swing through Detroit and pick up some bumpers on your way back to Joisey.[emoji6]
