Hi,

Has anyone shipped their TVR to America to use while on holiday? I would really like to drive route 66 in my Tuscan and was wondering what it would cost to ship my car over, and also how long it would take between leeaving my house in England and being useable in America - has anyone tried it?

Hi - I've just been in the pub talking to my wife about future holidays and we're seriously considering driving the Tuscan across America next year.

We have a coupe of questions though! Firstly, what are the penalties for speeding? (Obvious question really!)
Secondly, we'd like to incorporate some car shows if we can and also get some magazine coverage (although this is still only in the "theoretical" stage). Are there any magazines that might be interested in such a project, whether to borrow the car for a day, or just to photograph and write an article?

Primarily this trip would be a holiday for my wife and I, but we love the attention that the car recieves and would be happy to show it to lots of people.

Lastly, we've never done anything like this - the trip or the publicity - so any advice would be very much appreciated, who to contact, where to stay etc....

This is still in its very early stages - so far, my wife and i have decided that it would be cool to drive the Tuscan across the States, which, apart from any technicalities involved in shipping the car over and breakdown cover, seems fairly straight forward. The magazine/car show thing is new to the pair of us but seems like it would be a wasted opportunity to drive across America without telling anyone!

Regards, Shamus & Karen
