Hi All,
its been a long time sinse i darkened these boards and attended a meet.
i thought i would pop on and bring you all the news, some good some not so good and some better than that.
Around christmas time i spoke to a gurl on facebook about some parts for the GTO. who mentioned was mowed out with work, her better half (you lot wont know him) is Hans who runs Ground Zero Performance in Easton in Pennsylvania. i jokingly said...does he need any mechanics?, Hans must have been in yelling distance and said yes he does. so the deal was set.
sarah later collared the same gurl and told her that Hans needs to fill out a I-140 form and submit that to the employement bureau who then vett it and hand it to homland security for final vetting. they then send confirmation to the American embessy in london who send me an interview time and date. its all complicated bs, but we have never been state side. Anyway Hans agree's. last month when both our GTO's have gone and have been near on mythered to death off hans we book the flight.
i collar Hans on facebook again and confirm a date we will arrive and what he has done about the form? in his words.... we dont need forms, i employ illegals, just sayin'.
this isn't the news i wanted. i didn't sell everything to go get kicked from the states for being illegal, so i contact another guy who i have on my friends list who is a well known tuner/mechanic on these. and he said to avoid Hans at all costs and go and see him when we land or within a couple of week, have a vacation first and see some of the country then meet him and discuss things.
this doesn't mean a garenteed job or sponsorship. but i hope something comes of it. we are there for 3 months on the esta visa and the money we have wont last that long thats for sure. there are folk we could stay with a week at a time, so that would cut the cost of renting or hotels quite a bit.
just have to play this one by ear. but by the sound of the other guy its kinda promising.
anyway i thought i would pop on and let you all know this, we fly on the 27th of this month
