Hello Roy yes I think I will enjoy the change of direction and pleased to be on here. I was reading a thread of yours on here last night about your shipping and what was needed after your car landed at the docks.
I would have many questions to ask you about whats needed ect Car was delivered to LA docks awaiting
for boat to arrive,for loading but heard nothing since,that was Saturday just gone.
