I have a solution scott, its call come and use lou and ians 90 to pull the trailer......the deal is you got to change the firewall first ;)
There are supposed to be lots of good deals going for backloading from Perth-East coast. Maybe try some transport companies who travel PER-SYD often. When I came across the Nullarbor I saw HEAPS of B-doubled heading back empty, with the traillers stacked 1 on top of each other.
Don't know if it helps, but I will be driving PER-MELB in mid december. If you can fins a car trailler, I would be happy to tow it that far for you - in exchange for you paying 1/2-2/3 the fuel bill (ISUZU DIESEL).
Don't do it, Scouse! That Isuzu Diesel is as rare as....... and much more expensive than Mobil or Shell or Caltex! :pQuote:

I sent a project car to Perth about 2 years ago. Because it didn't have any brakes the car carriers wouldn't handle it. It went by a boat transport company - I don't know freight costs as these were picked up at the other end. Cheers, Erich.
Today I tried Toll (Autologistics) through work to no avail. Despite their website advertising that they transport non-runners, they say they won't carry them :mad:.
No-one wants to do a one way truck rental (not that I've found yet, waiting on one reply).
One transport company will take the car to Melbourne for $800 so that's a start. I just need to get it the 120km to their depot :(.
***Just received another email: $842 to Sydney from the Perth Depot :). A plus is that their Sydney depot is 2min from work. That's in a container & sent by rail.
Now to call some local towies for a price for the 120km tow.
Let's hope the loose parts inside the car aren't a problem. Hopefully the seller will co-operate & wrap it all up for me.
You've seen my RR - there ain't much more wear & tear you can take out of it !!Quote:

I assume 20' is the smallest container but I don't have anything else to come across (that I can think of).
I'm happy with $842, it would cost me more than that in fuel just to get to Perth.
Anyway, the auction is over & I'm the lucky winner :).
If anyone wants to send something across from Perth, let me know soon. All going well, it will be Northline at Hazelmere doing the job. It will be a few days (maybe a week or more) before it leaves.
