Wish I could make the trip
Hi Michael
Last time I drove out that way it was 10+ hour drive. Which would be a 2 day drive in the C60S. I won't be driving any of my CMPs any distance until spring, having hand surgery September 3rd. But do look forward to seeing photos and videos of the event so please share any links to photos or video that you find. Cheers Phil
