My dream is to travel around the USA -especially along the Route 66- with my VW K 70. The shipping should be possible, also possible to pay, but I think, I would be the whole time over there quite nervous about a crash or a breakdown. So I should pack a set of important spare-parts into the car. I always do it, when I make trips with my car, here in Germany, or in other European countries.
Over here in Europe I know all other K 0-freaks and I have their phone-numbers in my mobile-phone, for the case of a breakdown or other problems (or just for a short visit) - but in the USA I wouldn't have that possibility. Actually there are only 3 single car known over there.
About the spare-part-problem: recently 2 of the 3 K 70 in the USA had broken windshield. Can you imagine, what a drama we had, to transport a set of 5 new windscreens to the USA?
This is the point, which makes me afraid of my dream-trip, with my K 70 along the Route 66.
It's an ugly problem, that cars, you want to ship across the ocean, have to be totally empty (except exports to Black Africa, they are full with od washing-machines, furniture and other garbage), which means, that you have to send all the parts extra by airmail.
