well i finally got the car shipped out yesterday, only 2 days before i get on a flight to germany, a little to close for comfort. but it's done now. so i'll be leaving socal in the morning, probably never coming back except to visit. in other words later guys, be safe have fun, keep the club going.

 

buh bye, have fun

Good luck Jim! Don't kill yourself...or the turbalt. and as posted above, VIDS! Later.

 

Hope it gets there in one piece and you have a safe flight man.

 

thanks man, as soon as i can i will get some vids up, the car may arrive after i get to iraq though.

thanks, yah the car better get there safe and sound or imma be upset.

 

later jim... it was fun and i cant wait to see the vids and eventually maybe a ride.

 

thanks man, save your money for a trip to europe, you can stay at my pad while your there traveling. it'll be hella cheaper, and if you get your international liscence from AAA for $28 you can even drive on the autobahn........................you know you wanna!

 

lol...AUTOBAHN FTMFW!

 

Now I will finally have someone to come visit.
Good luck to you and your wife.

 

you sure do, i'm trying to get a big enough place so that when my friends and family come over there is a couple of extra rooms for them to stay in.

 

woohoo i made it, ich bin im deutcheland! es ist kalt hier. only like 70 degrees out.

 

yea man...have fun man..i'm sure you'll rep the balts well over there...just make sure you dont leave the forums

 

hey man how much did u end up paying for shippin your car?? and who did u go through???

also why are you permanently there??

 

have fun man, the balt will get a lot of looks i'm sure, probably kinda rare over there. do you have any idea where you're going when you deploy?

 

hell no imma start a delta platform club over here, you know how many astra's they have here. hopefully i can scan and flash there pcm's, i think they still use "chips" here.

i paid $0, i'm in the army so they shipped the car for me. last i checked it was about $1800 to ship a car though. the reason i'm here permanently is because i'm stationed heree, and my wife is german so i'm not trying to leave again. this is my 2nd tour over here.

it probably will haha, i'm gonna put the opel badging on the car, since it's basically a reskinned astra coupe anyway.

 

Military? What base you going to?

 

grafenwoehr, germany

 

yeah Army shipping your car FTW.

now i have to google Opel to see what the badges are like...

 

circle with a lightening bolt through it, same as the vauxhall

 

nice basically what my dad did... used to live out in cali moved to germany met my mom through skiing so forth he stayed over there 20 plus years... Youll start noticing after a while over there opportunities there arent anywhere close to what they are here in the states
