[Fot] Cross country car hauling

Actually, that list can change to "had" one of each Triumph model (plus
spares of some!).  We have been and are divesting before our impending move
to Kentucky!  

The flaming Isetta is ABSOLUTELY going with us.   ;)

Susan    :)

PS -- I met Cim the trucker on this end of the trip and dealt with him in
person.  He knows old cars and was VERY careful with our baby.  When he got
here, he had a very rare 195X Dodge with original Indy stickers (???), some
sort of huge old special Cadillac, and a Bondurant 'vette in his truck,
along with our 2000 roadster.  He hauls Ferraris and other exotics and
knows a lot of people in the car/racing business.  I would trust him with
any of our fleet.

It is highly likely that Brad and Susan have one of each Triumph model
imported into the States.  Not to mention a vintage Dodge truck,
Ampicars, Air Streams, numerous motor bikes, tractors, other motorized
vehicles too numerous to mention, and assorted parts that would take too
much band width to list.  I assure you, all are well organized.
 
But wait, there's more ... An Isetta with flames!
 
And this is only what I have seen.

You have a 2000 Roadster too?

Amici,

For those of you on the east coast who might want to pool your resources to
get your cars hauled to the west coast for the FOT event we found a very
good and reliable transporter when we had our 2000 Roadster shipped from
Pasadena to Arkansas .  

CIM Trucking (pronounced Kim).  (602) 803-0032

He has a 6 car enclosed hard sided car hauler with winch capabilty.  We
felt very comfortable through the whole process when he moved our
Roadster.  

When we decided to make the move from Arkansas to Kentucky I asked Cim what
he would charge to haul 6 cars for us from Jefferson AR to Richmond KY and
ended up with a price of around $1400 for the 6 cars, granted that was only
650 miles.  What it amounted to is he was willing to "rent" his trailer for
a weekend and we had exclusive use of it.  Instead of charging us for each
car he ended up charging by the mile for the use of his truck.  He was even
willing to let us fill up the various spaces in the trailer with other odds
and ends.

My guess is a group of you might be able to make similar arrangements with
him to haul your cars to and from the east coast.  Might be worth looking
into.
