Wow that is such #OOPS# luck, what a shame!

What pisses me of the most is the illegal Fog lights in NSW when theres no fog but like you said Soarers always have them on!

no it wasnt a good car, it was a cheap soarer to start out with, so my brother booked some flights for him and 2 mates to go up and get it and drive it back on and unreg permit

then after flights were booked found out you need an inspection in nsw to get a permit, unlike VIC
so he figured he'd get a vic permit and see if he could make it to the border and then be legal.

so the morning comes to fly out, cant get onto his mates despite calling countless times, flys up anyway

get ups there buys the car, drives for an hour. gets a flat. no spare in the car or jack or anything. calls the guy he bought it off. who arranges a set or rims and tyres he can buy to put on it. 3 hours later he gets on his way again

now being a soarer it has its fog lights on all the time...apparently this is also illegal to do when not foggy in NSW, cop pulls him over for that...while pulled over runs the plates on the car...which were off an unregistered ke30
so $1500 in fines later he is in the middle of no where with no money and no company
calls me who didnt go on the drive as i had an exam the next day

well what do you do. me and mum make the trip at 9pm about 3 hours over the border into NSW to get him and back again

sao the cheap soarer turned out to be an overpriced piece of crap, after the fines. and a month or so later he bought a 1uz and manual conversion for less than he originally payed for the soarer, when all he wanted was the engine anyway

Yeah was hoping someone with an empty trailer was coming up. Finally go 1 quote after about 5 days. No one else will take non goers and say it has to be able to be driven onto the truck.
Pigdog sounds like you have a good story to tell. Was it a good car at least?

should be easy to get many online quotes (although if it wont drive itself on the trailer it can be more difficult)

cant see how anyone could do it for you cheaper than a transport company really

for someone like me who has a trailer it would take all up prob 18-20hrs, plus fuel, would be easy $100/hr, so your talking a couple of grand, in fact add in a second person to take some shifts driving, they need a cut too, so $2500+

chances someone is driving that way and happens to have an empty trailer - none - unless they are in the business of moving that sort of stuff

bite the bullet, you either DIY to cut the labour cost or pay the cash so you can stay at home and wait

cant drive down and get it yourself? its a fun drive. especially if you do it with only an hours notice at 9pm

Anyone..........please :)

You need the holes in the floor to let the water out that has leaked through the rusted out plenum chamber!

Haha. My old ute was the same with a rusty floor. Everytime I drove in the wet, my shoes would get wet!

Aaah, now I get it!! Thanks for the clarification! The funny thing is you could do the Flinstones thing with my ute at the moment as it has no floor in it!

Haha Shoota- you pick it up with your bare hands and run!
Edited originall post. Hopefully it makes sense.
