Car is still in Norway - Jack Panzica - 02.11.2012

Hello to all, I have been busy catching up on weatherization of my house and rest. I expected my car to be shipped on Nov. 1, but because of the storm and NJ port problems, it will be shipped on Nov. 8th, and should arrive around the 29th of November.

I would like to thank Heidi, of Motorships.no , for her help in taking care of my car in Norway for the shipment home. Because of the delay, Heidi, had my car put under cover until shipment. Thank you Heidi !

Pictures of my car at the dock , more than 8,500 miles covered by road , train and boat ferry.
