Are you still doubling up with the Shelby 50th group? They are trying to recruit me for the trip on the Shelby forum but I explained in another topic here why not.

You guys are gonna spend over $100k on a private plane to get across the Atlantic when you can fly first class on a commercial jet for $5k? I'm sure! :lol

Don't forget, London 2012 is from 27 July-12 Aug 2012 so if you go those dates that the same time the Olympics will be occurring in Europe. I assume the continent will be packed with visitors taking advantage of the proximity to the UK.

There is so much going on ......Looks like Virgin is the best so far, but we have to see....The cobra group has the right idea for shipping and all.........Its the countries paper work that are the hardest to get done......
Just throwing out every idea, olympics/nuclear threats/invasions......its gonna be fun...........
We are also hooking up with the Original GT40 group in England and hopefully do some pace laps at the historic LeMans......
Remember our loving wives will be coming through the Europe part.......fun...fun...fun............

There is at least one Concorde left at the Airbus factory in France. I suspect you all could contact Air France and see if they will handle the trip. Given all the publicity surrounding this extravaganza I suspect they will do it.

Do it!!! GT in the Airbus....You in the SPACE SHIP

MJ/CHRIS A / GTDRUMMER, Im going where ever they are..........Yes , I would pay the mint for one ride in the SST/CONCORDE.....Remember dreaming about the future?, that plane everydy past our house and office at 3:30 every day, it never got tired...like the GT and GTJOEY, never got tired.........enjoy gtjoey1314

Flights to Europe

JOEY,

Bend over and grab your feet if you are thinking about a 1-way on a corporate jet.ack Like $100k-$120k. Are you frikin nuts?:screwy::frown ,,or are your nuts just hanging out the window?!?!!?
Having sampled most of the airlines flying the Atlantic I can say Virgin will be best suited for you. :thumbsupPamper,pamper,pamper...etc..... You will have a ball with those skimp-a-ly dressed girls. Unlike others, they have a great deal of fun. Kind of like the old days. Food is OK, nothing to goo-goo over, but eatible. The seats do turn into a full 180 degree flat bed.

And , red, is your color Big Peep!!!!!!

 

[gtjoey]

Lil Peep, thanks as it looks like either Virgin or luftonsa or possible klm as we start in Amsterdam.............Chris is putting together the travels for this part........We have to ship 360 BACK TO TEXAS......as the port will load all 15 cars from their..............enjoy gtjoey1314

 

[GTJIMMY]

You only have to stary in Amsterdam if you fly KLM. Have the car land in the U.K. (maybe take a quick 3 hour trip to Poole to see the McLaren factory & F1 facility or Oxfordshire to see the Aston-Martin facility. Simon could hook you up!),,,,,Then, take the Chunnel to France. from there,,,off to LeMans and the rest of your European trip.

Just a suggestion..........

Jimmy,

I just love that longislandnese you speak..........it's almost like a coded message....:lol

 

[GTJIMMY]

Yah, It's like a Bacala , Uh, I mean Bacalah!!!
Kinda like Beer in Boston. You know,,,Beeeeyah!!!!

PS: Had some guys over the house to watch the Giant game and enjoy a pot of Pene & meatballs with gravy. They were in town on a project for me and were from Ponchatoula, LA.
Took them in the gerarge to see the cars and one guy looks at the GT and says....." Wow, is that the new Mustang?".....He said that inbetween the spits of chew from his mouth!

I have access to one I use from time to time. $5000 an hour in fuel alone, not to mention pilot, price to lease jet, etc. Pretty sure this is not the route you are gonna take unless you are gonna give the GT up for payment once the trip is complete.....

Thanks for the offer my friend....I had 3 friends with the lease deals, all have been terminated. The cost is way out there.....Virgin/KLM/EL AL....what ever, as long as we go , we are sending deposits tomorow for the hotels and all............if any of you are SVT/SVTOA MEMBERS, just wait till you get this months magazine, the forum/360 and lucas ford are all in it....great shots from the american trip..................thanks again...gtjoey1314
