The whole intent IS to bring our cars over, or at least explore the possibilities ... esp since it appears that it might approach a breakeven point wrt renting track cars around 5 or so track day rentals.
Fixed it.

C'mon you can do it, the world is ending in 2012 anyways..
Running a rental is just not the same..I got that t-shirt..

Let's just all buy the new GT3 RS LE, take delivery in Europe and then ship 'em back. Seems painfully ovbious to me Even more so if the world is ending in 2012!

bad news on local insurance agents. they can't insure you unless you have german registration.

good news is Manthey's private track day at the ring is on June 1st (Wednesday) this year.

According to the BMW (GT-R) guys that did this for the BMW School a couple of years ago:

- Chase finance would approve the car for temporary shipment to europe while under their lien.
- AIG is another possible source of insurance while overseas

just FYI.
