Ol' Turbo is at it again... Another Cross Country Trek

Since OTs trek to SoCal was a great success, and the best trip of my life, I've decided to make a "run" to The other Southern Coast... Florida

The Previous Road Trip was documented here.

Ol' Turbo's cross country trek, to boldly go where...

Photo highlights:

















Since that 3000 mile trip, OT has only covered 2500 miles or so in 6 months, and lost its Pentas. Primarily the E320 and E500 got the most use during that time.

The trip starting tomorrow will cover 10 states and over 3000 miles. Route here:

I'm starting off early to spend the weekend with the family at Grand Lake in Oklahoma. Sunday I will make my way to Dallas where I will stay overnight. I'll do a few quick overnight stays in New Orleans and Destin, FL Monday and Tuesday nights, then spend the majority of my time with Colin and other central FL benz owners in Orlando. To break up the trip home, I'm stopping overnight in Memphis Monday night, Aug 17th.

Of course, I'll be giving plenty of photo updates, Ol' Turbo saw its fair share of landmarks, and you bet I'm going to Disney World. I think was 5 years old the last time I went. Any other suggestions to spend my time during stops will be greatly appreciated as well. The lake house unfortunately does not have Internet access, so I will have limited connectivity with my Iphone for updates until Sunday.

Wish me and Ol' Turbo luck!
