[BMWCSRegistry] Transporting vehicles

[Richard Conway]

Hi Mike,

I have used Robert Pass's Passport Transportation before FEDEX bought him
out, and experienced great success using him to transport various
classic/race cars of mine around the country. He is also a hearty
vintage/historic race driver/classic car collector. Of course, that was
before FEDEX bought him out, he might not be so active in the company
anymore.
