What vehicle is it - a heavy one, will it fit on a twin axle car trailer. ?

Get a 3-4 day permit is the Vics have such a thing (we have it in SA)

It will allow you to drive it home, and be a damn site cheaper!

best to be get it yourself

cheers

are you thinking what i'm thinking your thinking

hmmmmmmmmmm who's going where in a couple of weeks

but we must ask the question

where in Melb is the car ?????

I believe it's quite small and light (compared to other Land Rovers) but unfortunately I don't know where it is located. The seller said they could deliver it to a car transporter depot though so I'm guessing it's not far out of Melbourne. TombRaider - I don't think it's the kind of vehicle you could drive Melb to Sydney!

No more clues on what it is ?

Here is the theory, I am in Melbourne on the 18th/19th, from there I am driving to Orange, then onto Penrith, might detour and go run about with some of the other chaps - before going to expo

There are trailer hire companies - that do one way rentals, you cover the cost of the rental - and a bit towards the additional fuel used - and bobs your uncle.

Sticking point is the limit for the rental trailers - which is only about 1 ton - I think - but could be wrong

if its close to me i could drag it closer to you Ladas
save you some trouble

That would work, but need to wait to see what car it is
