Current Goal

This travel bug is all about cars.  Let it visit caches near race tracks.  Drop it off at a cache when you visit a car show.  Take a picture of it with your awesome wheels (and yes, Matchbox cars absolutely DO count)!

Its ultimate goal is GC2TYJJ, the "Neue Zufahrt Nordschleife" cache at the Nürburgring--possibly the greatest race track in the world--though it should get a little practice at smaller tracks first.  It's a goal of my own to make it to the Nürburgring, and drive it myself.  We'll see who gets there first!

About This Item

This travel bug was repurposed from a gold logo dome pried off the busted centre cap of an OZ Prodrive wheel, combined with a key fob from the dealership where I bought my most recent vehicle.

    For a car themed bug, this doesn’t have much mileage on it. I’ll get it on the road.
