Hi all, the people here who know me also know that i'm dating Emily and that i've been trying to move to the states for some time now.
When i bought my charger about a year ago i planned on shipping it here, restore and have fun but a lot has changed and the charger is still waiting for me in Ohio, it's not coming over to Belgium, i'm just going to where the car is  ;D
Now i'm still not there with all the paperwork, some of you may know how hard it is to get a green card but luckily giving up is something i'm not good at.
I just wanted to say that altough it's only for two weeks, i'm here in Michigan now and i can tell you that this is the place i want to be.
I can't thank Troy enough for keeping my car at his place for me but i can make sure that once i'm here permanent, he'll have free bodywork done whenever he wants, i owe him bigtime.
So thank you Troy and thanks to everyone who supported me and still does in this very long road to moving.

When I heard from Tom that you were here I was happy for the both of yah!   :yesnod:

It'd be very cool to meet up with you guys when I'll be near you in Chicago next week, but understand if it doesn't work out. ;D

Either way, congrats on the decision, and I wish you both the best of everything! :cheers:

Hey Doc! I see you took time out of your busy schedule to actually post something... :D

I hope everything works out for you. Even though it seems like a never-ending process don't give up. However, keeping Greenpigs from trying to jump that orange car is getting more difficult all the time. :devil:

And Wakko too...

I thought we were gonna jump that car into the river.. NOT over the river :image_294343:
I already have a guy who can film it, we are gonna make a real snuff movie about that Charger...

Troy* Did you build the ramp yet? If not, Ill come over so we can get that done... :icon_smile_big:

Thanks for the support guys and yes I will hang in there.
Johnny it would be way cool to meet you, I don't know if we'll have the time though, I'm only here for another 5 days and there's still a lot we got planned but if we can't meet now we'll have to work something out for my next trip, in any case, pm me when you're going to Chicago, maybe we can wing it.
Yes I know Troy, I don't post often, I kinda thought you all liked that  ;D
Telvis we talked about it and if need be we 'may' just do that but not now, we don't like being pushed in this matter but who knows what the future will bring.
Snuff movie....I don't know where to start....bastards....HA
Knowing me I'll probably jump it myself, I don't fear Greenpigs, knowing what a b**ch my ignition lock is I'm sure he couldn't start it to save his life  :icon_smile_big:
Rene if you have any tips for me, any at all, I'd very much appreciate it, as I said, I don't give up but frrom time to time a little boost of confidence is welcome, it is fairly depressing sometimes.
I wish i could stay longer too Steve, heck that's kinda the plan  ;D
Steve, I heard what happened to your furry loved one and I'm very sorry man, if there's anything I can do you let me know.

Thanks Doc. Unfortunately, time is the only thing that can help. Its hard when you lose your best friend. I have been through alot in my years, but having my friend put to sleep was the hardest think I have ever did in my life.


Hope you enjoy your visit!

Doc, will do man. :2thumbs:

Completely understandable if it doesn't work out.   :yesnod:

I know yours is a purpose driven trip, and time is at a premium for you.   ;D

I'll only be there for 2 days, so if it doesn't work out, we'll see what we can't pull off for the next one. :2thumbs:

I've got a reason to make a trip to Royal Oaks, MI, so let me know the next time you'll be here. :cheers:


Johnny

p.s. Best of luck with the green card. My sister went the marriage route so that her husband could stay, and from what I heard from her, I agree completely with Sam.

Hey all,

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your support, it really means a lot.
I wish i could meet up with all of you but alas my time here is limited, only two more days before i have to leave and i want to spend that time with my girl, i hope you understand.
I've contacted a lawyer (thanks for the tip Rene) who's specialized in immigration and i will be back asap, this is home now.
RD i couldn't have said it better  ;D

had a few trips around town and a meeting and already spent +$125 on gas  ::)
I removed the titnt on the windows, removed the traction bars and fog lights. I expect to get the door pins next week.

Can you bring back 1 lower 1/4 panel from the states? (for the guy who bought my 68)
