Ferrari Mailing List: Re: My new car, not in hand (NFC, NPC)

[Charles Perry (charles]

That's a lot to type on a Blackberry, Rick!

When I bought my Diablo a salesman at Lamborghini of Dallas was running
a transport company on the side. They did a fine job getting my Diablo
to SC in a nice two-car enclosed trailer. The same one carried
Ric/Lashdeep's 348 on to DC. They were quite reasonably priced.

His website (www.djstransport.com) appears defunct, but I believe the
company is still there. Jonathan Peck was the guy's name. He's not at
LoD anymore, but they might know how to find him since they used him a
fair bit. I think Rainbolt may know how to find him as well.

Cheers!

Hello Friends,

   A typical Rick story to follow:

   Yesterday we drove from Houston to Tulsa, towing a U-Haul trailer
full of IKEA furniture for my daughter. This morning after unloading, I
exchanged the trailer for an auto transporter and headed off to pick up
the new/old car that I bought. Into the driveway I backed the trailer
and pulled out the loading ramps. 

   We then put air in all four flat tires, using a little portable air
compressor. The PO had parked the car 10 years ago with the handbrake
on, and of course, it stuck. A little rocking got it released and we
began the process of loading. And that's when we realized that although
we could fit the car on the trailer - barely - the track was too narrow
for the ramps. Even with added 2x6s, the load (by hand) would be
dangerous. Therefore, we gave up. 

   So the PO and I traded title for money, leaving me to arrange
professional transport. Thus, this is the story of the 1962 Triumph TR3b
I just bought and own but can't take possession of today. I've waited 9
years for this very car and even formed a Yahoo! Group to discuss it
(thinking it was an "a" model, not a "b"), and now I own the car. And I
need help. 

   Please advise if you have a transport company that you trust. I'd
prefer closed transport as the car currently has no top, but with a car
cover and a tarp it could withstand an open transport even in the rain. 


Regards,

Rick
