"Comedian JERRY SEINFELD has picked an unusual way to mark his 50th birthday - he's driving across America in an old van with his childhood pals to eat at their favourite New York diner. The former SEINFELD star, who celebrated his big day on 29 April (04), will hit the road with CHRIS MISIANO - who serves as one of the directors on THE WEST WING - and Oregon doctor CLIFF SINGER, both pals from his native New York. He says, "We are going to get in a '65 VW bus in Santa Monica, California, and we're going to drive it to the MASSAPEQUA DINER in Long Island. "There's only one change I did make to (the van). It's all original except I put a PORSCHE engine in it. So if you see a bus like this going a lot faster than it seems like it should be able to go, that will be us!" Seinfeld and his pals plan to set off on their journey on Monday (17MAY04)."
