Beer, Brats, Burgers, Boxes? Impromptu Opel Meet!

oldopelguy · 08-13-2009

So guys, I'm going to throw this out and see if I can rustle up any of my internet "friends" and turn them into real ones. Saturday the 22nd I'm going to be loading up a truck and trailer for the big move. If you've seen the shop/garage or even the things I've had up for sale lately you know I've got a lot of stuff to load up and could use all the help I can get.

So here's the deal: Free food and drinks, I put enough gas in your tank to make sure you got gas to get home, and deep, deep discounts on any parts you need or want out of the shop in exchange for a solid day's worth of work loading heavy stuff. I have a small forklift and a cherry picker to do the bulk of the lifting, but there's still going to be some shifting and sliding and such that'll wear you out.

I'm west of Greenville, SC, at ZIP 29671, 2 hours from Atlanta, Charlotte, and Columbia, 4 hours from Charleston and Knoxville. Let me know via PM or post up here, and we'll try and make a party of sorts out of it.

Let me see if I can move things around on the 22nd.
Gene what time are you planning on leaving?
I've got a bad back so no heavy lifting for me but would a small P/U help out any?

Dan, unless you plan on driving up to MN with Stephen, all he needs is help just loading. As for me, if all works out, I plan on getting there early say 6-7am on the 22nd and doing what needs to be done.
