I would love to take mine next year if we have a plan in advance so we can purchase airline tickets to match the trip planned with the cars.

Let us know when you figure it out. Or, is someone else supposed to figure it out? :lol

I would make a wager that in 2017 your NFGT will make the trip :)

Taking the new car there would be even more of a challenge. Our 05/06 cars have precious little luggage space, but its gargabtuan in comparison with the new car! I guess you'd just have to wear the same clothes for the entire trip and rely on hotel soap and shampoo!

Dear, JPO Pisces
#6 and #34 are riding along with you on your trip across the Atlantic tomorrow. Please steer towards good weather and away from pirates!
Thanks,
B

Brian,

Every time I look at the photo of that damn boat with the containers stacked up like cordwood it gives me the willies. At least we got our insurance binder today. I hope our container is down low and in the center of that mass so it gets hit with less salt spray.

Yeah that's kind of what I envision. First photo below shows the crack staff guiding the ship into port and after unloading the GT's the ship will be carefully docked!

That ship screams, " I have fancy sh*t on board. Take me over." Haha..

Also, doesn't that thing have to get through the Bermuda Triangle to get up to the UK? Sleep well!

All the chirping like this, is how it was pretty easy to talk myself out of sending the car. We will still have a lot of fun, even with out it.
