Re: Greetings from Los Angeles

I miss that car horribly. Can I have it back for what you paid me for it? Please? It seems to have wheel centers (see what I did there?) on one side but not the other... Ha. I did see what you did there. I'm getting used to saying Trunk. Gas. Hood. etc The first shot was the car breaking down at th...

Correct. Amazing collection of cars. It was sometime in December, just before it ended at that venue. Waiting for it to pop up again somewhere new.

Re: Greetings from Los Angeles

Thanks guys. I'm here for three years at least, I'll keep uploading pics as I go along. I have some nice ones from the last Luftegkuhlt in September http://deuscustoms.com/blog/luftgekuhlt/ . I met Patrick Long in a café and he invited me along. There was a big turnout, as well as the usual suspects...

Greetings from Los Angeles

I've met a few of you over the years, so I thought I'd post a quick update. I shipped NDV 217F to the States with me when I came over last year for work (Sam - you know this car!). The process was long, confusing and expensive but we finally have US plates and are legally registered here. Porsche No...

Re: Shipping a car from UK to California

Thanks everyone. I hadn't even thought about insurance. Sounds like I'll need a US license anyway as I'm there for 3 years.

Shipping a car from UK to California

OK, so I know it's normally the other way round, but I am being seconded to the LA office for 3 years and would rather like to take the car with me. Anyone got any experience of shipping over to the states. Recommendations on shipping companies and what's involved in terms of taxes, vehicle requirem...

Re: New top gear tonight

Much better this week. And they showed the ad I made for Jag with Tom Hiddleston, it's not often you get free advertising on the BBC.

Re: Classic YouDrive @ Silverstone

I think that's a great point. My one criticism is you don't get a chance to record yourself spinning around, found it hard to get any footage through the windscreen as my iPhone kept focussing on the wipers. Good day out though. Surely you didn't spin, did you? :-) It was the extra pressure of havi...

Re: Classic YouDrive @ Silverstone

It hasn't stopped raining all day in London, we are leaving in a couple of hours to head north and apparently the hotel we booked has no electricity so they are moving us to another hotel. Good start to the weekend.
