Hi Friedel

Ich habe keine Ahnung, ob die "Hamburger" hier mitlesen. Hast du Kontakt zu ein paar Leuten dort, dass man vielleicht per EMail anfragen könnte oder so?

Gruss aus der sonnigen Schweiz,

Martin

Hey listen, Jack, this is what I can do for you:
- I can rearrange my schedules and pick you up from the airport
- then I can take you to BHV and help you getting your car released from customs (well, my experience may be a bit rusty because it's 20yrs. ago that I did the same when importing my 1977 Vette from FL. - but at least I already have done it once. My int'l Marine insurance background may also come in handy there... )
- afterwards we can go back to Hamburg "convoy-style" together to get you acquainted with German traffic (another set of hands/tongue might be of value in case "something goes wrong"...)

As we are in the process of rebuilding our home, unfortunately I cannot give you a place to stay for the night, but there is a cheap and nice Motel in our town and in walking distance from our house, in case you prefer to leave your Vette on our premises instead of in front of the Motel.
I can make a reservation there for you, if you wish (and in case nobody else from Hamburg will step in for your accomodation)... Here you have a link, to review the Motel for yourself - cost is between EUR 30 and 40 for the night.

It will be an honor for me to show you Hamburg and take you out for dinner to round up your first day in Europe then.


Concerning time-planning and your fly-in-time: my recommendation would be to align it with the day your car will be able to get released from customs. (Just get that date confirmed by you shipping agent/their correspondence partner in Germany!)
I that case we could drive directly from the airport to BHV (some 2,5hrs driving).
Taking a day off on Tue Aug 28 would work perfectly for me...
If you prefer to fly-in at an earlier date, I should be able to work out something as well, but getting it all done in one day, (frankly) would work out better for me...

Okay, your call now - looking forward from hearing from you. (You can find my e-mail address in my profile...)

PS: I'll leave a copy of this post in the NCRS TDB......

Cool, sounds like we were able to at least provide you a beach head...

I'll write you a PM giving you my e-mail- and snail-mail-addresses plus a cell contact.
And yes, you can have the guys send the "green card" to my address. (Having them send it registred might be a good idea - just to be on the safe side...)

But as said: before booking your flight, it is vital that your shipping agent does confirm the date that you can take delivery of your car.
And (no-brainer) have them list all the necessary documents.
...It would be a shame driving there for nothing and having to go another time....... (The driving distance may sound not too far, but if possible I'd try to avoid doing that trip twice - the Autobahn between Hamburg and Bremen ist in constant re-construction, since??? 1980??? And the parts that are in great shape are under radar-surveillance...)

If you want to give me some shipping-details (like name and ph-# of your shipping agent in BHV, B/L-#, other shipping reference that they might need to track your "item") beforehand, I can call your agent to make sure everything will work out on that day.

You got clarified that the international insurance certificate is the only document that you need tor driving your car over here?


Zurück zu Jack's erster Übernachtung: kommt schon Jungs, keiner in Hamburg da, der ihm eine Matratze stellen könnte???
