Very interesting.....

Just entered my details and will see how much to get my CT90 back to Essex. :lol:

Had to put in a spurious phone number as I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night by calls that cost me nearly a quid a minute to receive (I have a UK pay as you go).

Probably keep this one in Aus but might be interesting to get one of these home. Seen quite a few for sale with about 25 thousand K on them (ex Aus Post NBC110)

Speak to some freight forwarding agents, they fill containers, might have some space to sell cheap. You could be onto something there!

Shiply have just quoted £88.00 to get an Enfield Bullet from Redruth to Bristol - weekdays - it would have cost me 125 quid for van and fuel and 8 hours of my life. Shiply is the one that works like ebay- Anyvan is a menu cost dependinig on flexibility.
