Where's Tuscon John?

Boy John, you sure like to drive. PHX to HOU, all around Europe and from Miami back to PHX. Sure gives you something to think about before falling to sleep.

I called United Auto Transport and received a price from LA, Long Beach, to Barcelona. If we used the open parking which they described to me as on a lower deck similar to a parking garage the cost would be $2,300.00. An enclosed 20' car container from Houston to Valencia, Spain, would cost $2,550.00. Interestingly enought is the fact that they do not ship back from Europe. We'd have to contact another transporter to get a price from Europe to the USA. What do you think Mike ?

That's the business I was in before retirement. I'll check on cost but we could put both of the cars in one 40' and ship for the price of two in a car transport.l I also have a friend that is in the car transport business out of OAK, CA. They mostly ship to Hawaii but will have some contacts in other divisions. If you ask for a quote as for "POV" or privately owned vehicle.

Watched the last leg of the Tour de France this AM. I do not want to get near Paris. Only the mountains and boarder towns in the Alps. Only one big problem.....rains alot.

Hey Mike, try to find a decent price and I'm in.

That "rains a lot" sure cools me on the idea. Don't have any fond memories of being caught in the rain in my Cobra and I'm sure my sweetie would not enjoy herself either.

Karl, What if the ladies were to drive in a rental car ?
