cheers Lags. It was an offer that was too good to pass up. Getting it home is going to cast more than the purchase itself, but it will still be good value.

If i drive over, I am expecting to spend at least another $1000 in fuel, most likly towards the $1500 end. I might fly over yet and drive a truck back, or hire a sea container. I still dont know what is going to be the best way. Tommrrow when everythig is open, Ill make some calls and try and work it out.

A road trip would be great, but its a 5 day turnaround and a very long straight road, and the trip back loaded to the hilt with a car trailer will be either very slow, or very thirsty, both for me and the pootrol, but I do have a good offsider who has vollenteered. (Sucker!)

If any one has suggestions or connections in SA let me know.
