Now onto the pics and summary!
Our adventure started off with another 5.5 hr delay at the border! We're getting use to this lol! The dilemma was a RHD Z that the customs officers deemed 'illegal' to import in the USA despite having RHD cars registered in the USA. As well this RHD Z was in the USA attending Zdayz and several other events over the years. Long story short is that they had the individual run circles prepping 'formal' import papers only to have a Supervisor who just came in on a shift-change deny entry! Gotta love it! One of the crew was also hastled for having an ex-wife who is an American Citizen. Despite having government documents proving he is not only a Canadian citizen but residing there the officer insisted that he needed his divorce papers? I guess he wasn't convinced that the individual was divorced and living in Canada.
Despite the set-backs we were unfazed and the show must go on:
AMS INC Corporate Cayenne with displays and some staff en-route:
We arrived unfazed after meeting up some fellow Z attendees. First day there
our Cayenne decides to leak some coolant from a well-known problem area - coolant lines under the plenum - ouch! Stock pipes are plastic and upgraded pipes are cast aluminum! Lucky this happened just outside Atlanta where the Porsche Warehouse and a couple dealers are located. Couple days to source the parts and we were back in business! We had our friend Federico (owner of Samba Loca bar in Carrollton) hook us up with his extra Mercedes and his garage among other things Cost in parts alone was roughly $1500!
While repairs were taking place we were set-up at ZNats with the booth and our new addition to our model collection - lots more pics on our web-site and FACEBOOK
Random Car shots etc - just too many to post here:
