Johns Dino is coming home….

Well, as I said before, best of luck!
Last time I shipped a car, they even stole the radio, tools, anything that was not screwed down...
Your wheels, not mine.

Regards, Alberto

 

Hello Alberto, You are right. Thank very much you for your concern! Bill Noon from https://symbolicinternational.com/ organized the shipping and advised me to do so, because he has the very best experience with this shipping company. I hope everything goes smooth. Thanks again, Ralf

Danke
Were the two 19mm a/c compressor bracket mounting holes on head 456 plugged with screw or welded?
Can A/C be retorno

 

Hello Ralf, let me understand, Bill Noon said it was OK to put the wheels inside the car?
The company I worked with was Cosdale, and they said: "nothing inside any car".
The shipping company does not put a caretaker inside the car...

Customs, does not like loose objects inside a car, unless you put a crate and it accompanies the car.

I suppose the car is in a container, or (hope not), a "Ro-Ro" ?
Previous experience, does not guarantee anything. You cross the same street every day, all OK. Then, one day, a truck hits you. Get my point?
I am only concerned about your wheels, and obviously your car, a very famous one.

Regards, Alberto

 

Hello Alberto, you are compleat right! I discussed about the Wheels and Bill told me that the shipping company is informed about the wheels and is fine with it. Of course, what you say scared me now and i will check and hope that everything went positive! Thank you for your concern! Ralf

 

Hello Sergio, a few years ago i checked the option to reinstall the AC. Uwe Meissner from http://modena-motorsport.de/ ,who did anytime a great
Job, told me that it´s possible. But i was all the time focused to care and repair any real important detail of my Dino. Regarding the typical weather
in Germany AC is nice but not really necessary. „Sunny“ Regards Ralf

This work was perfectly made by Thomas Gralak of https://www.tg-classics.de/ who had a big Heart for me and my Dino. He „found“ a slot on the first weekend in July, his workshop is fully booked until February 2024, to fix the clutch, that i could enjoy driving my Dino for the rest of this Summer. THANK YOU THOMAS!!

We arrived on 25th of July 2020, the first day of the reopening after the pandemic shutdown. We were the only Guests and were allowed to use the whole Castello for ourselves. The stuff was so very kind, that nearly everyone took a ride with me in the Dino. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

as a Pinup

 

My wife Johanna gave me permission to drive her 993 4S to pickup the Dino from Paolo in Aschaffenburg





She made me double happy. 1st, i was allowed to drive a classic Porsche 993 Carrera 4S. 2nd, i was able to observe a Dino in the Wilderness. Both very rare for me

Now it feels very strange to have so much space

Hello Sergio, about your question regarding how many miles my „Johns Dino“ has in total, i will answer with what John ever says: These cars are made to drive. I say ever drive (with care) never stops….excuse my badenglish! My Dino is cared like a BOING Airplane, i may say and i tried to keep it running the best i could. John did the same.
If you keep every important wearpart updated, as you can see at the fotos above, nobody has to be scared about high miles. It is save that the Dino has much more than 200.000 Miles now….and still driving strong. I am sure, that Bill Noon of https://symbolicinternational.com/ who takes care of selling my Dino, can supply much more informations on this subject.
Have a beautiful day️!
Ralf
