Ozymandias is in the States

[mwilson]

Ozy and wife have arrived. They are here today picking up and installing the new National Air Ride Seats that I ordered.

Great people, a joy to meet!!!!



By the way for those that have been drooling over the camper body that Ozy has on the truck....it is as well made as a Swiss Watch. Incredible.


The task at hand for today..

Mike, ask him what his itinerary is. If he heads south, we'll buy them dinner if he makes it to Alabama.

I will ask him, they have quite a trip planned out.

 

[mwilson]

He doesn't have any SAE wrenches with him, all metric. National Seating is still using all SAE fasteners as he pointed out.......

WOW, is headed down my way?

They shipped his Dodge over to the US? WOW how did that work?

 

[mwilson]

He took it to the Hamburg Germany port about three weeks ago to load it on a boat. It then was shipped to Halifax Nova Scotia. He and his wife flew to Halifax last week to pick it up.

Pretty cool, he says that it is done quite often.

BIG, is that you?

 

[BIGNASTY]

BIG, is that you?

Ya Its me, wouldn't want to jack Ozy's time, But I was wondering about Ozy and shipping his Dodge that's got to be costly I would think.

Kind of the Dodge Coming Home ( so to speak)

Hi all together

Yes we have arrived last Wednesday in Halifax - and we enjoyed every single day of our trip so far.
Great Country(s), great people, everyone is so kind and helpful around. We barely just cant belief it.
If someone wants to travel with us just checkout our website, it's www.nordamerika2015.blogspot.ch
Just send it through Google Translate, Mike told me that this work fine, probably......
For short, we travel next to the Niagara area and then across Canada to the north, then south all the Rockies to New Mexico and back across the US to Halifax in Mid-November.

Oh, and Mike, thanks again what you have done for us, we appreciate it a lot.

Ozy- have a safe trip! If you're coming near NYC on the way back- let me know!

Big- good to see you're with us.

Soo welcome to the states and all, but uhhh any pics of the seats installed????

 

[mwilson]

He put a picture of the installed seats in his blog, but I did not get any before he left here. Perhaps he will post some for us tonight. Anxious to hear how he and Steffi like them after a day in the saddle.

I don't believe that Switzerland has any humidity, poor Ozzy was suffering yesterday changing the seats over. It was of the nastiest days so far this summer. Cut the air with a knife and then when the sun popped out it felt like you were on fire......

 

[Bill Lins]

Well, he's gonna just LOVE Texas, then! :-laf

 

[BIGNASTY]

humidity??? what's that? is the white stuff?

 

[mwilson]

They are probably without Wi-Fi for a few days. I lifted a picture of the almost installed seats from his blog.

 

[Wayne M.]

WOW Mike, looks like a great install! Last time I saw HD truck seats in a ram, it didn't look so good. Can we have some info on the job? How 'bout the adapter brackets? And thanks for tipping us off to his blog. I guess my upcoming trip to Hilton Head is peanuts compared to what hes doing!

 

[AEdelheit]

Those turned out great!
