Sweet ... perfect tool for the job. I'd so love a Sportsmobile.

Safe travels; look forward to updates and photos.

Dang, Scott, and we just rolled back into town (P'cott) this evening after a fabulous trip in Baja.

One of these days, we promise to stay put for a bit.

Buen viaje, amigo.

P.S. (on edit) be sure to check the pwr-steering unit carefully. Our compa on the recent trip had a failure in his '07 Sportsmobile (the second for him in that unit). Fortunately, we were in San Ignacio and not in the outback.

Time to go to Mexico! We'll be thinking about you guys from the other side of those mountains.

We haven't quite finalized our route....but if you are approached by a couple of dusty motorbike riders....it may just be me!

Have a great trip!

Sounds like a great trip. Now, is this a vehicle that is being tested for OJ? Looking forward to some pictures.
