MG MGA - Are Aussies still coming to USA?

Quite a while ago I'm sure I read a thread about some Australians planning to ship their cars to SanDiego then tour the US and Canada. I thought it was supposed to be in 2012. Anyone know if this is still a plan? Haven't heard anything recently.
Thanks

The Dave Godwin 2012 run is Cape Town - Cairo - UK. I'm delighted to be doing the Nairobi-Cairo stretch as co-pilot.

Gerry, it was my trip, but we have postponed to 2015. I had 17 cars coming, but due to uncertainities with financial markets this year (many of the participants are retirees), we decided to hold off.

Four of us are still flying in to GT-37 though, so hope to see some of you there?

Gary,
I understand. We all feel it. I'll be at GT37 for sure. Plans are to bring a goup of cars from the Binghamton British Car Club. We need to meet for a beer!
Cheers,

Looking forward to it Gerry. We're arriving in time for the Air Show at the weekend 7-8 July.

If you are coming to GT 37 you might think about coming to Pittsburgh after the GT. The Pittsburgh Grand Prix has picked MG as the Marque of the year and I here they have a lot of activities planed for the week after the GT. You can check out there web site at PVGP on Google. Race week end is the 24th and 25th but there is a race at Beaver Run the week end of the 14th and 15th. I believe they have some activities planned during the week.

Gary,
I believe we will also be at the air show. At least, that's the current direction.

GK,
We are also discussing the PGP. We were there in 07 the same week as the GT in Seven Springs. Drove back and forth several times. Had a great time
