LuckyNickels Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hello from Craig and Sheila Nickels We have been UAE expats for the last 6.5 years. We are flying from Abu Dhabi to Hohenwald to pick up our new Ollie Elite II on July 2. We have so enjoyed all the background and research you have provided us in the forums. Look forward to seeing you on the road and at the 2020 Rally.

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted June 29, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2019 Congratulations and welcome to the family. We’re just down the road a bit from you. We go through Marble Falls whenever we head north, it’s a beautiful area.

LuckyNickels Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 We like it a lot. We have had our home there for quite a while (20+ years). We lived in San Antonio (San Antone?) a while back, very nice area also. We have been "lurking" on the forum and are looking forward to meeting the Oliver family.

Shaferkg Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hello and welcome! Our Ollie starts production in less than two weeks now and we'll be picking it up in September. We're just down the road in Fredericksburg and pass through Marble Falls when we go North as well. We're planning on being at the 2020 Rally and look forward to meeting all the fellow Texans and Hill Country folks there!

Moderators Mike and Carol Posted July 2, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 2, 2019 I see a Texas Hill Country micro-Rally taking shape. Boerne, Fredericksburg, Marble Falls... There are two Ollie’s I’m aware of in San Antonio, two here in my neighborhood and now one in Marble Falls and one in Fredericksburg.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted July 2, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 2, 2019 Don't know where you guys are staying tonight, but our Minnesota friends are at Fall Hollow. If you see them in their 09 Elite, please say hello. Hope everything in your long journey went well for you! Congratulations on your new Ollie.

LuckyNickels Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 We are up for a Texas Hill Country micro-Rally for sure, sounds like a lot fun, to quote Willie Nelson - just can't wait to get on the road again. Our schedule to pick up the trailer has veered off plan a bit. Our tv developed a mechanical problem and it may be fixed today or possibly on Friday, so we have missed our original pick up date. The factory has been very accommodating with scheduling and all is well. Probably just as well as the jet lag was a bit worse than we expected. We currently in Cullman AL.
