 GTM Coupe loading The Grande Brasile has just arrived at Tilbury from Hamburg and my crated GTM kit should be loaded ready to sail to Lagos  with an ETA at Tin Can Island port on 13th November. Plenty of jobs for the Christmas holiday. John

Re: GTM Coupe loading The ship has just arrived at Tin Can Island in Lagos, now the fun starts with customs, just hope they look in the box and think what a pile of Toffee  and let it go through without hassle John

Re: GTM Coupe loading Sad day, just had a "notice of evaluation" which even allowing for Christmas inflation is far more than expected and have told the clearing agent to dump the only GTM to ever arrive in Nigeria (if not all of Africa) back into the sea as I'm ready to cut my losses rather than pay through every orifice in my body  I just hope I can call their bluff John

Re: GTM Coupe loading Hi Sven, It looks like I could be building a buggy with my Mini bits  or just carry on fettling my bikes, What do you have stashed away as your pride and joy? John

Re: GTM Coupe loading I looks as if my hopes of being a GTM owner again have gone down the pan completely and another one is lost to the world in a Lagos dumping ground, I can’t in my wildest dream imagine any local mechanic would want to attempt to build it, even if he knew what was supposed to be fitted in the empty places.
But - - if another body/chassis came along I could be tempted, but would have to find yet another shipping agent as we have parted in a most acrimonious way!!
Anybody want to sell a GTM kit please let me know, I’ll be back to the UK when the weather is warmer mid April/May next year to race my Jedi for 3 weeks.
Cheers
John

Re: GTM Coupe loading sorry to hear this, can you not sit at the dumping site and wait for it to be dumped and collect
