We should raise some money for relocation expenses. ...and them pocket it, maybe by a Yes album like “Fragile”.
So nobody will believe this but I swear it’s true. My first wife was from Norway. Trondhiem a hundred miles north of the article circle. A friend of her came over on a business visa and opened a body shop in Napa, Ca. Later a couple of his buddies showed up to work at the shop. They all overstayed there visas an stayed for a couple of years. What they were really doing here was buying American cars and shipping them all over the world. One Sunday the three showed up in my driveway in a red Datona 500. Had a little brass plate stating it had been a pace car at the Iny 500.They bought from a dentist in Fresno who had it on a corner of his office lot with a for sale sigh in the window. We lived in Stockton and they stopped (two cars) at my place on the way back to Napa.That one went to Germany as I recall.This was back in the early 80’s. You can’t believe the cars they bought and sold overseas from California barns, small town car lots and widows. I helped ship a 1959 Caddy Baritz convertible to Norway that back then he sold for 40k. These guys cleaned N.California (no rust) of dozens of classic muscule cars and made a bundle. These guys forgot more about American cars than any dozen American gear heads would hope to know. I could write a book about these three guys.
