Hope you guys don't mind me giving some info...

If possible, we prefer to get emails from those who are interested in a Seattle / Vancouver trip. We have a list on which we put names, vehicles and requested mods, so Steve knows what parts / units he has to gather for a trip.

We will contact each interested customer BEFORE Steve flies to the US, just to see whether they are still interested in getting some mods done, and whether they will be available during the time frame Steve intends to go.

BTW, do keep in mind that we may have to ask all participants to compensate part of the travel expenses.

greetingz,

BigSis

sweet! that's 4 of us so far. make sure you email Steve Steve@MBenzNL.com what you want so he can add you on his list so that when he prepares his trip he knows what to bring and what everyone needs done.

Ed, is that you? I can put your name on our Seattle list - if you like - and contact you as soon as Steve starts preparing his trip.

We are trying to combine Seattle and Vancouver installs, and it may be best to do those somewhere in Seattle - so Steve doesn't have to go through Canadian customs (let's say we have had some... 'nice' experiences) AND this way we will avoid import taxes because possible goods don't have to get shipped across the border.

flaw had the same idea as I had regarding location...

That would be awesome.. Very close to my home.

So far I've decided on the the EURO Command, and Power Folding Mirrors. I have issues crossing the border, so going to the USA is outta my books.

Let me put it this way. A friend of mine got caught smoking a doobie 20 years ago, got arrested. Ever since then, he's tried crossing to USA about 4 years ago and got denied due to what had happen then. They told him that if he ever tries again, without a pardon-that they will seize his vehicle and throw him into detention. This story has no relevants to my bording crossing issues, but it's what they do and they are very strict. They are even worst now since 9-11.
