Listers, Sorry to enter the fray with an essentially travel-related query - but it does have a strong Triumph flavour.
Subject to health issues at home affecting close relatives, I'm planning on making it to Watkins Glen in early September this year for "the Big Bash.". I did put out a request to the FoT list and while I got a few replies, they weren't enough to enable me to make specific decisions. So, my thoughts are as follows: 1. It looks like New York is the nearest international airport for inbound flights from the UK, with JFK being the most popular airport. Does anyone know of an *international* airport closer to the Glen? 2. Is anyone in the New York area going to the Glen with whom I could beg a ride from NY? I'm more than happy to make meaningful contributions to fuel and meet all my subsistence costs. 3. Failing 2 above, I have plenty of experience of 'driving on the wrong side of the road' (i.e. in LH steer cars) and will rent a car. Any suggestions on airport car rental organisations who don't build the NATO defence budget into their rates? I'd be happy with something small like a VW Golf/Rabbit (diesel preferred) and I might even *lower* myself to taking the wheel of a Ford. Thoughts ladies and gentlemen? An enquiring mind wishes to know :) Jonmac Originator of The Triumph Trans-America Charity Drive 2009 www.triumphtransamerica.org.uk An event for full TRIUMPH Enthusiast participation _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html [email protected] http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/spitfires http://www.team.net/archive
