Pre Europe inspection

Update, plans have begun planning the European part of the trip.......
This is a very large undertaking as the small items are the biggest hurdle.......
Just got off the phone with Grundy's , Jim is a long time friend........he thinks we can do it....:thumbsup
Any suggestions or ideas, please pm......
Shipping by Boat is far less costly but a longer time span.......
Hopefully by the time Amelia comes and goes we will be completely booked and done for the other side of the pond!
Before that we must have another weekend at the barn for service and photo shoots........I just got a call from the GTGUYS.......
Hows late april mid may for the barn this year......have a big send off and away we go..............
Remember we have the lift and they can do anything when they arrive in New York...........
Pm guys if those dates look good.............enjoy gtjoey1314:thumbsup


We are thinking about after April 18, 2012. After Easter, after tax day, and hopefully nicer weather there in the east. How long we stay will depend on how many cars we have. Looks like we have at least 7-8 so far and counting. Send me or Joey a pm or email richbrooks@thegtguy.com

Guys, April or early May would work for me concerning a Barn visit. Anything later may get in the way of our move to Wyoming.

Joey, I have my hotel room all set for Amelia, but not sure I will actually make it. Too soon to know. I'll keep you updated as we get closer.

Sounds like a great trip. Sorry you aren't making up to Mass., but I would be happy to help you with the Europe and China plans as they materialize. I know Germany very well (lived there 9 years), know lots of gearheads there (read: accommodations all through Bayern and up through Koeln.). Also know my way around Beijing and the Great Wall in that area (Ba-da-Ling) spending most of my days there now..and if you ever go "Down Under", that's my second home.
