Mike... I'm working on shipping my buggy out. Not sure if my daughter in Oceanside can fit it in her garage. Any options in case it beats me there? Is there a go/no go cut off date? I need to book a flight and such...

Thanks!

Anthony, that is awesome, Yes I'm sure we can arrange to take care of your buggy, Valley Center is not that far from Oceanside.

I'm leaning toward reliable for shipping .. any feedback? Good or bad?

We used Reliable in 2013 to ship back form the OBX, driver had logged over a million miles, 2 other cars on the truck were Year 1 restoration, builds. The same truck carried the buggy's all the way from Coast to Coast, they were great to work with, I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

Do you have a point of contact?...

Anthony, Scott Drolet made all the arrangements then and also in 2015 for the return from Buffalo. I believe he is also working on shipping for those that need it from MOTB 2020. send him a PM on facebook, if that doesn't work let me know and I will get you guys connected.

If you are thinking of taking on this adventure with us, 1 of the things you should know is the MPG, safe range of your vehicle, we would like to maintain a speed of around 65 MPH for extended periods of time on the highway. The fuel stops each day are based off of this information.

I'm working with a Major hotel chain trying to obtain some discounts on rooms, but I need an idea of how many we might need. If you are considering joining us on this journey please drop me an email mdario@manxclub.com

if you are planning on taking this adventure with us, let me know the approximate range you can travel on a tank of gas. I will need this info to plan the fuel stops for the group.

I just read that the Manx on the Banx is not going to be an official event. Are there still people that want to travel to the non event together as a group?

As of this moment I'm still in for the trip, If there are others Please jump in here and post a comment.

Unfortunately the official Manx on the Banx event has been canceled. The event coordinators will be working on providing anyone that shows up information on places to go and see in the area. If anyone is still interested in driving across country with us here are my travel plans. Please let me know if you are still interested in joining us for this amazing journey. I need an idea of a head count to try to negotiate cheaper Hotel rates. mdario@manxclub.com

Anthony,

If needed, we could store your buggy at our house in Valley Center. Just make sure to ship it with a cover because my garage is full and it will be stored outside.
