Borgwards Sighted Departing For 5,000 Mile American Adventure
Reuters, Bremen The scene at the Bremen Harbor as a number of Borgwards bound for the USA were being loaded for their Trans-Atlantic journey.
The cars begin their two month adventure, first to the East Coast of the United States by Cargo ship, and then to the West Coast by road, traversing the famous Route 66 and then on to the iconic California Coast Highway 1.
The Dock Supervisor cautioned his workers "Careful with that one boys! It's going all the way to Santa Barbara!"
No it's not really from Reuters, just me having fun with an old photo I ran across.
The countdown has started though, the Coupes, Combis, Sedans and P100 are being loaded aboard ship today and will be on their way to our shores. Their drivers will be arriving in New York one month from today, and joining us in Santa Barbara in less than two months!
Thank you to all of you who have registered and paid for Santa Barbara, the response has been great.
A reminder for those who haven't registered yet, please do so soon. I would like to have the North American Registration wrapped up one month before the event to be able to have accurate numbers for shirts, food count for the banquet, etc.
Please consider volunteering, I still need 4-5 more people to help in Santa Barbara. Examples would be making the coffee run for the farewell brunch, or helping to decorate for the banquet, etc. Time commitment will be one hour or less for each item. I am trying to get enough people to spread things out so each person has only one item to take care of.
Very much looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing a beer during what should be a great meet this year. Hope you can join us in Santa Barbara, October 12th through the 15th.
Sincerely,
Brent Lay
Meet Coordinator
