The owner of the vehicle is trying to get the address etc of the yard so I can post this up as soon as I get it, but I am guessing either Laverton area OR Dandenong or similar industrial/ transport district.

I know this is a bit disorganised sounding but the weekend is the only way I can get away to get across with it.

Thanks in anticipation, PM me if it is easier.

may not be able to do it Mon AM. Is that critical? I could get it and take it sometime during the week if that helps send me a pm and we will take it from there.

Hi justinc,

I am able to help you out SAT morning when you get here and again Monday morning to drop off (if I've read that right).

Your original note raises a few questions for me:

Does a Canter require more than a car license? (comfortable I can drive it, but I only have car license)
Both Laverton or Dandenong are around one hour from home for me... How do I get home again once drop off is completed? Do I need to arrange a second vehicle and driver too? (both possible)
Are insurance req's covered? (must have)

Help me out with a PM and some further detail on what's going on and if I can be of assistance I will... POSITIVE AULRO KARMA is a great thing to have!

Hoo Roo,

Dave & the "pretty pig"

Thankyou heaps to all who have replied and pM's.

I am still going to try and contact the transport yard to see if ANYONE will be in early Sat to help, but failing that I will have to avail ourselves of some AULRO help!

Thanks again all

JC

I work in Tullamarine so Laverton is just down the ring rd from me if i can help.

Hi all,

Just got a call from owner who has organised for me to drop it off at the cartage yard around 8am, so all good!

Thanks to all for your offers of help, after we drop it off the better half and I will just meander our way back to the boat slllooowwwllllyyyyy via a few eateries etc etc....
