Luggage, PHX to LV and back

[Not 4N]

A very unfortunate development has happened with respect to my transporter. To make a long storey short I will not be able to bring it to Vegas and consequently not be able to move luggage.
I am very sorry about this but this is truely out of my control. Thank you for your understanding.

:cheers

I have a construction/jack of all trades employee that can transport your luggage from the Los Angeles area to Las Vegas and meet up with you for the return. I pay him a flat daily wage $200 which will have to be covered for 2 days (back and forth) plus his gas. I'll ask him if he's interested. The only way this will work is there is enough of you - he may also have to rent a cargo van if the demand is high - he may also just use my trailer. He is also very handy with wheel changes and so on and so forth and helps me with my car chores all the time. Let me know how many are interested.

OK boys and girls, we need to work on an alternative here. How do we get luggage from Scottsdale to Vegas (and back if necessary)?

 

[AZSTAD]

I'm picking up the phone to Team Jeff [neighbor] and seeing what the options are.

I think there's enough of us, since it seems like 40+ GT's will be making the trip. Crap the airlines are charging $15-$25 per bag now, and we all own frickin' GT's, so what's $50 for a roundtrip bag fee?

I'll keep my eye on this thread - we need a solution.

'Last (first?) "simple" option: UPS/FEDEX

Pblm solved?

Surely we can rent a minivan or something for someone to drive to Vegas? No one else taking their trailer? DBTGT, let's just take your truck. Stand up here and be a man! Don't let your friends down. OR.....perhaps a certain bottleholder developer would use his truck to get back in everyone's good graces? Then we could call him "GoodCat" or "NiceCat."

I don't have a problem with using my truck and/or trailer to haul luggage as long as we can come up with a secure place to park it in Vegas and come up with a competent, reliable driver to get it to and from Scottsdale for us. Any suggestions?

 

[fjpikul]

Veronica? Dave, would you be returning back to Scottsdale or then leave directly from Vegas? Where's Danny when you need him? Anybody else got suggestions?

We need a list of people wanting luggage transport from Scottsdale to Vegas and if it's one way or round trip. Indy GT is working on one possiblilty. Please post your name here, don't PM me, and rough estimate of how many bags you'll have.

I am round tripping to Scottsdale. I will have one bag. Also I am traveling to Wyoming today and internet access will be limited until Sept 3rd. I'll try to keep up.

I've got one bag that needs to get to LV and back to Scottsdale. There's always UPS if nothing works out.

Indy GT is still working on something yet. Looks like DBTGT is game, we just need a driver for his Powerstroke.

dbtgt - 1 bag
JBG - 1 bag

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

[TEXAS GT]

I'll update this as we go along.


fjpikul - 2 bags, + helmet
dbtgt - 1 bag
JBG - 1 bag
BONY - dousche bag

That's one of the few times I've laughed out loud over a post, even if you did spell it wrong. Good one Frank.

We may have two bags and a helmet if it's required.

 

[fjpikul]

And just how do you know the correct spelling?

As for the helmet, my mother always said if you have it and don't need it, that's OK, but if you need it and don't have it, then you'll do without (this was not only particular to money).

 

[fjpikul]

Hmmm, now where can we find a GT with a trailer hitch?

Baron, where are you when we need you!

Frankie,
I even laughed the first time I read it. Hope you laugh when you get your bill at THE HOTEL, I am going to have the drapes cleaned in my room, sending them in with my other laundry and charging all to your room.
Luv U Man!

[Indy GT]

And Frankie busts MY chops on my post spellings.....
We need a spell checker on the Forum.

Frank, the transportation of bags from Scottsdale to Vegas which I was working on will not work. We are back to continuing to find a working solution for all the 40+ owners starting in Scottsdale and needing to get their bags to THE HOTEL.

I will have 2 bags and a helmet as well.

DO WE NEED TO WEAR A HELMET WHILE ON THE TRACK IN VEGAS???

It would appear this piece of information would be nice to know and impacts a number of people. Anyone know for sure??
