Hello,
since the LE is nearly done and I can drive the car I decided that I need a new challenge. I bought a 1983 911SC Cabriolet in Memphis, TN, and I plan to pick up the car on the 28th and rive it all the way to Seattle. The car is mechanically in good shape, will get fresh service and oil before I start, but needs some paintwork and the interior needs to be done (carpets, seats). I plan to drive from Memphis via Kansas City, Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Bozeman, to Seattle. If someone lives close to this route would be great to get your contact information, you never know what happens (and AAA is only towing the first 200 miles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ) - Juergen |

There's a guy in Mitchell, SD named Jonathon who really helped out one of our guys earlier this Spring. If you have problems between Souix Falls and Rapid City you should give him a call. Hell if you end up stopping for gas in Mitchell you should look him up; sounds like a great guy.
Import Motors 1104 West Havens Avenue Mitchell, SD 57301-3833 (605) 990-2770 Rescue in Mitchell, SD Have a great trip. |

I'm an hour (in the wrong direction - due east) of Jackson, too bad. If there's anything I can do, let me know.

I'm guessing he is flying into Memphis and meeting Shane there. I was going to help Shane deliver it to Va. to meet the guy from Jersey. I guess this is why I didn't get the call to go to Va. |

I plan to arrive in Memphis at 6:00 PM on the 28th, meet Shane at the airport, and then immediately hit the road and drive for a few hours. Shane told me that one of his PCA friends will meet him at the airport and will drive him back home. I think the car was in good hands from my talks with Shane and I love the color.

We will be having the SCCA meeting the 28th at 6:30 pm at a delicious pizza place. You should stop in and say hi. The pizza will be on me. |
