About
Welcome to The 152’s Coast To Coast H2o Road Trip site! 
What, you’ve never heard of it? 
Perhaps an explanation is in order. 
Lucky McGee and Sparky started a yearly tradition in 2007, of driving across The United States, to Ocean City, Maryland to attend the H2o International VW show. Well, if you wanna get technical, their first cross-country trip was to Waterfest, in New Jersey, but this site pertains to the H2o International trip. 
Regardless, they’ve made 6 trips across The United States, all in Mk1s. 
In 2008, someone else finally got off their ass and committed to make the trip with them. There’s been a lot of “Ya, sure, I’ll make it.” “I’m comin’ for sure!” “I’ll be there.” and a dash of “I’ll see of I can make it.” with little, to no follow-through. 
It was a refreshing change when RJ drove all the way down from Alberta to make the trip with us. The old saying “The more, the merrier” certainly rings true in this situation. More cars means more fun, and everyone had a blast. We made memories and friendships to last a lifetime. 
Another thing we discovered is that with more people, and more Mk1s, there’s more spare parts, knowledge, and helping hands to go around. There’s also more ideas for fun stops and more cameras, to capture the fun on film…er… I mean, memory stick.
In 2009, We had a couple very special road-trippers who actually flew over to the United States from Norway/Germany, in order to make the trip with us! Sadly, they couldn’t bring their Mk1s, and unfortunately, due to a family emergency, Lucky and I were unable to make the trip ourselves, but both Otti and Tuki still made The Big Adventure!
I’d like to take this moment to step out of third-person character, if you don’t mind. 
We love Mk1s, we love road trips. We enjoy fun, driving, shenanigans, mischief, and general tomfoolery. We’re currently recruiting more like-minded Mk1 drivers to make the cross-country trip with us, in 2011.
Our travels, and recent addition to the cross country club (that’d be RJ, if you didn’t follow) have attracted all kinds of attention. We have more people interested in traveling with us than ever before, which is why we created this site. Without an organized plan, nothing will ever happen. Which is why we’re starting plans, and this site, almost a year in advance. 
As usual, we’ve gained a lot of attention, and have a lot of friends interested in making the trip. Myself, The lovely Lucky McGee, and our favorite Canadian, RJ, will be making the trip, for sure. 
Some new and old friends have showed interest, and some have made (not very convincing) commitments to make the trip. If you’d be interested in a wild, cross country mk1 rally, feel free to sign up. 
Oh, and If Paxton knows what’s good for him, he’ll quit promising and start driving….. jerk.
