All of us have some BHAG(Big Hair *** Goal). Mine has always been a dream of touring Europe in my Corvette culminating in a stop in Southern Italy (Puglia) where my parents came from after WWII. We have a number of registry members and ZR-1 afficianados in Europe and they have been good enough t visit us here in the States, I've dreamt of returning that favor by visiting them.
But with a difference. I think they would be excited to have some of us visit them w the ZRs they have heard and read about. Some ZRs from the States. A European tour visiting our brethren in England, France, Germany, and Italy would be the ultimate trip. Would love to have Jim Voter along to do one of his great chronicles. Sam, Whaddya think about that?

Another thought I had was to go to Europe right about the time of the 24Heures du LeMan. Wow that would be awesome. Visit Normandy also. Have you shipped vehicles w anyone? Obviously we need an outfit truly reliable and on-time, not to mention trustworthy.

I have used Wallenius Lines in the past...out of Port Newark NJ in the past
They are the people that import Volvos,Jaguars, Saabs etc from N. Europe into N.America Very professional n reliable outfit: usually around 3 weeks to N. European ports You should see all the American Iron that goes overseas:from Hummers to Fin Caddies etc Getting insurance on the other side will be a bigger issue for only 1-2 months ....n get ready to D R I V E !!...they don't play around in the Autobahn ! |

Dom, Count me in.
Sam, Find a buyer for a ZR-1, Color year model upgrades. The goal will be to get the car shipped from the US to England. Travel around Europe for two weeks and then deliver the car to the new owner. Hop on a plane and come home.

I was going to ship a Corvette to Germany in April but was unable to get insurance for more than 30 days once it arrived there without paying 19 % VAT and than has to get it inspected. Emmisions are very strict there, not aure it would pass.
So instead of shipping my car there I just purchased an Audi and it will be delivered to me in Germany. Nelson007
