Hi,
Just to introduce myself I'm a member of Minis of the Rockies, based in Colorado. I have a Mini Moke arriving in Galveston on 3rd September, which will bring my current Mini collection to 5 (4 classic, 1 new).
I read this article - very helpful
http://miniownersoftexas.com/forum/index.php?page=page4830 but was wondering if there are any more recent experiences picking up in Galveston. I have hired a customs broker.
I haven't decided how to get the Moke back to Colorado yet. My options are:
1) Fly down, pick it up myself and drive it back (it's not done a long journey in years, so this worries me a little)
2) Fly down, pick it up myself and tow back with a rental car/tow-dolly
3) Fly down, pick it up myself and leave it in storage somewhere and have it shipped
4) Have a shipper pick it up direct from the port (How does this work with TWIC card though?)
5) Have someone pick it up from port, and store it and get it shipped
6) Drive down and tow it back
I can get free flights to Houston for my son and myself which helps the cost of some of the options.
Right now I'm thinking 1, 3 or 4, but would love to hear your thoughts/recent experiences at Galveston, or ideas where I could store the Moke while waiting for a transporter to pick it up
Thanks!
-Peter
