Default The Vert Won't Fit

I'm just about to head out to Vegas. I tried to get the Vert into my suitcase and it's over the weight limit.

What can I do

Concerned of England

I think you can rent one across the street from Caesar's Place still. Considering the economy you shouldn't have a problem renting one anywhere in Viva Lost Wages!

It feels like that sometimes

I'm a Brit but I've spent more time in the US since 96 than I have in the UK

Spent nearly 4 years in Sin City so its nice to get reaquainted.

Cool!!! My grandpa is from Manchester. He's from California but went to the UK before WWII officially started, since the US didn't join the war he was itching for a fight. He stayed after the war for a long time, he moved back to Hawaii 5 years ago. I like to assume that I have English blood. I know you're a pilot and I noticed the F4 phantom you posted once. My uncle flew that plane in Vietnam. I was raised with posters and models about that jet everywhere. Till this day, it's still my favorite jet.

Have a great trip back to Vegas, mak sure you contact those "Sin City" vette guys..

"Americans, over-paid, over-sexed, and over here." think thats what grams always said...

Take pity on those poor rental Vettes - the last time I was there they looked like they needed new homes...

I can't believe that we are going to miss each other by one day - Dave! You could always hijack the plane and come to Phoenix....you can drive my car for a week!

BTW - no luck in that other matter on the telephone.......YET! But we're still working on it!! Have a great and safe trip!

You can probably rent one while you are there. Would be a nice way to spend a vacation.
