He flew in from Germany this time and landed in at New York. He contacted a car moving company called "Auto Driveaway" and they gave him a car that their client wanted moved and he drove it to the destination they desired. He made it all the way to Washington (state) with several different cars from their firm. I don't know what it costs to have them move a car but it might be worth a call. I know Portland has a office, so at least they are on this end. I havn't checked to see if they have a website. Good luck with the move. -- Todd Francis Ridgefield, Washington USA '86 Westy Syncro '91 Tristar |
