Damn, I'd hate to miss seeing it.
The good news is that there are plenty of shows over there to display this beast, even if it should miss the Amersfoort Barndoor reunion.

Jdot,
i dont like your negative, positive view on this subject.
Glass half empty - the bus doesnt make it in time
Glass half full - there are plenty of other shows to go to.
THIS BUS NEEDS TO BE AT THIS SHOW!!!! IT'S A MUST!!!!!
Jk see you in 12 days.

the cargo ship carrying the bus is in the English Channel near Dunkerque, it will dock in about 7 hours.....I can't believe we made it to Europe in time....now the next challenge, to get the bus out of customs and moved to Holland without fucking it up....

Great news!
Anybody over there have experience in getting vehicles out of the port?
I'm sure that information would be helpful.

You're damned right. I've delivered and picked up a bunch of vehicles from both Port of Newark and Port of Baltimore, we ran into sh!t every time!
Different sh!t each time, but sh!t it was!
My general rule is, when you're towing a vehicle, take whatever time you think it will take and double it. When picking up a vehicle at the port, triple it!
