Some of you might remember when I shipped my RS America to Europe 3 times (had to ship back to CA for smog) While there I ran 190 Laps on the Ring with 1 Off and 1 360 spin. Best was 12 laps in 1 stint. Had 1 off track altercation with a bully, he lost.

I miss the Ring and the Autobahn. So I've decided to ship my 914-6 and get those last 10 laps in, woo hoo. Maybe a couple more, They do sell 25 lap cards. Used to be 499 euros.

Last time I met up with 1 of the world members at the Ring that was stationed there with his 914. Are there any members that might want to meet up at the Ring?

Things are starting to fall into place for this to happen again. Price of shipping has gone down to around $2200 to Felixstowe, UK. Set up Insurance this morning. Hotel reservations at the Elizabeth Orwell, it's like stepping back in to the 1800's.

The 6 is ready, fresh engine, side shift tranny, clutch, axles, cables, brakes, etc. Just a few minor gripes to fix before shipping.

This is from last time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuzPcRyTkZM...ndex=2&t=2s

Maybe contact Discover Germany, would be cool to have the 6 on the Ring like the RSA.

Plan is ship 6 in April, fly over in May, pick up and I'm gone.

Great but why would you ship to Felixstowe UK ?

Shipped a car fm Cali last year for 1.000 usd (+ 1.5% insurance on seafreight).

Why don't you ship the car to Antwerp ? I live here, I work in port and could assist you by receiving the car, store it for a while... You can then fly in to Belgium, I'll pick you up fm the airport and you can drive yr beauty 280 km to the Nurnburgring.
When done you can do the same the other way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Feel free to contact me

Checked yr picture and it looks like you've been in Antwerp in 2013. OMG you mentioned Antwerp NL (the netherlands)...instead of BE.... I just fell of my chair...NEVER mix up Belgium with the Netherlands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
