just got back from visiting the states (pictures too)

ánd now i'm back in holland again to tell about it , as a couple of you know i bought a set of 22's and a lot of airride stuff the last year and the time had arived for me to go pick it up and send it to the schipper .
i got to meet a lot of verry nice people incuding trevor and chase .

i landed in the states last fridag and things didn't got off at a good start since my connectionflight got delayed 6 hours and they managed to lost my suitcases .
i needed those the next day because of a party i was invited too by the tennesee classic carclub .
it ended up as me renting a car in arlanta and drive up to nashville to pick my suitcases up , luckily the party was in whitehouse .
after the party wish was a great succes i drove the car to winchester and met up with trevor



i whent to the adress he gave me and stoot in front of an empty shop wish turned out to be the office / deliveryadress , wish did caused a bit of panic on my end (does tennesee wheel and tire exist ?)
whell it turned out to be false alarm , yes it does exest and trevcr was willing enough to come over and pick me up on a sunday and take me with him to the actual shop to load my stuff in the rental .


got to look around there a bit and have to say he has a nice business going on and is a realy nice guy , there was one item that had a recal and there where a set of dropped spindles lost but he takes care of that within the two wheeks the box is still waiting for shipping .

after getting the stuff from trevor in winchester the trip whent on to camille georgia to meet up with chase and pickup my wheels .
i contacted him before and he was willing to not only help me with the wheels but allso made the crate to ship everything in

i been at his new place and i have to say he's doing allright for himself



one thing i hadn't solved yet was how to get the stuff to the shipper in Dalton .
the first thought was to get the rental 4runner back early and rent a uhaul truck the rest of the way , that wouldn't work cause alamo wasn't located there .
driving back and forth wasnt an option so we came up with another idea : putting a towhook under the rental .





the only thing still left to do was getting the building material and the trailer from Uhaul and start working , chase thanks again you been awesome helping me out like you did




we made a box strong enough to prevent any damage and if he ever has to stop doing sheetmetal and painting , he can take up carpenting no problem and i got on my way to Dalton to deliver it .
all and all i was in the states for 5 days taking care of business and meeting a lot of realy nice people along the way , the only thing i regret is not being able to go to one of the bigger carshows , wish i will at another time i visit the states cause that WILL happen again soon

well you got a lot of parts so what are you doing dinking around here get to work on that thing

You're crazy throwing a hitch on that rental. Funny as hell. That has Chase written all over it.

Did you take it off when you returned the car?

How did you know?!?


Good to meet you and glad you made it back ok!

Nice to meet you Ronald! Glad you made it back with everything in one piece.
