    First hardtop relay of the year! Fl to Ca

    I need to work on getting here. I'm in San Diego and the top is in Naples, Florida. I have read threads about relays but don't know how that works. I guess I can contact a shipper in Florida to get it here too. Any thoughts?
    Thought I'd get this started for Chuck!

    Chime in Chuck with your time frame if you have one.
    This a good time for a relay as tops will be coming off most cars very soon.
    How far East would you like to drive to pick it up?
    Probably a lot safer than crating and shipping as it will only be handled by Bird owners.


    Lets go guys, you know your looking for your first trip of the season!

    I posted this on the hard top thread but will put it here too.

    Chuck, Depending on how fast you want it I may be able to bring it as far as Texas in May if someone can take it from there.

    Anyway, it's a start on a top relay if things fall in place. Looks like that would be about 1/2 way to that point.

      heck, Chuck could sign up for Texas Thunder and pick up the top there if Gobird gets to bring it.

                    Dave, I think that would be a little over a DAY TRIP.

                      Are you sure? Lets see...2600 miles at 100MPH = 26 hours. Yep...you are right. However, if you step it up a bit to 110 MPH, that comes out to be 23.6 hours so.....go for it.

                        Ol'Dave never said that he would get the hardtop to CA, just that he would make a FL run.

                          Last time I headed out West for a TBN event, Desert Thunder II in Vegas, I ended up in LaJolla California then up the coast to Muir Woods.

                            Who is this Chuck and why hasn't he chimed in here. Wonder what his time frame is about receiving the H-top.

                              Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't chimed in yet. You're all great for showing interest in relaying the top. I ended up having it shipped. The person I bought it from hooked me up with a shipper in Naples Florida and it just fell into place late last week. I should have the top this week. I'll report back to let you know how it works out. Now that I see how well the relay can work I'll watch to see if I can be part of one in the future. Great way to see different areas and a great excuse to drive the Bird some more! Thanks again everyone. This network of owners is GREAT! Chuck
