While Talking to Daw_two about a couple things, he mentioned that we should have a transportation forum. I think it's a great idea. if you'd like to voice an opinion on it please click here, it's to help us get things moved around if one of us is heading in the right direction.

You mean like an Old Mercedes parts transport network?

That would be an excellent idea as well!

I don't see why a very small fee of sorts could not be figured into the equation.......after all, one member is taking the time out and spending the money on fuel - to not only pick up a part(s) from location A, but also doing the driving AND delivering it to the doorstep of location B, ALL at his expense.

Something to ponder......

yes. Exactly. It would be delivering parts etc from one member to another or larger items if you can haul a car etc. the fee would be worked out between both parties etc.

Sort of an underground railroad...

Didn't the forum ship a cat something like this a number of years ago?

There is another cool story on PP OD travel!

It is about a kitten found by a member on the street in No. Calif. ended up finding a home in Kentucky or Indiana. It's a COOOL cat too!!!

The kitten travelled on American Airlines from one PP member to another all because of PP OD members!

I LOVE CATS!

I've read about that, Who has it now, It's pretty cool

How the heck do you guys (and TylerH) find archived stores like that......so quickly??? I was going by memory.

Perhaps member, DMorrison, Captain for American Airlines, MD 80 airliner, might/could haul transmissions and differentials on his flights around North America and the Central America for members?

(I'm JUST kidding!!!) Really!

I could be your European agent!
