Is Archie big enough for all the signatures? Maybe he should have a passport too :P

There will be a A4 paper that goes along where Archie goes.

I think at the end of his travels,we can have an auction,and that money can go into the monthly draw.

Archie is a cool Beetle.

How long do you think it will take him to go from SA to the USA,then the UK and France and back to SA?

Chris, what a wonderful idea, I would be honored to receive and entertain Archie here in the US. Already looking for a good spot to take the pic.

Might be good idea to organize who's next in each case on this thread and maybe send some photos of Archie's time with you :D

I think the reciever should decide who he wants to send the beetle to. Once he's sent it he can tell us where its going to.

There is a list of where the beetle has already been, so there'll be little chance of going to the same address twice.
