Looks like FedEx economy is best for me @ around 88 pounds depending on weight.

Not this time, had a dog and gearbox in the back.

The White car now has the mounts fitted for the roof so I can collect it when I get a free moment.

All I would say is... It's a barsterd to fit, my windows aren't even close, and then I buggered up the rigging of the soft top. At least I can give you some pointers on what not to do. :-D

At the moment I'm dubious whether you can alternate between the hard top and soft top, because of the window rigging... Only time will tell.

Any way weighed two more on Friday:-

Dimensions as before.

MACII 15kgs
RS 8 Kgs

Ok what's our next step?

I tryed to get a quote from a local FedEx and they told me this would
need to be setup in the UK, they could not help me.

It's looks like it's going to cost me 88.7 pounds...

Tomorrow I'll be dropping off the USA stuff in Notts for those that requested it.

I'll be going as far north as Lincoln.

I'll also be nipping over to see Martin in Spalding.

So if this helps with delivery, just holla!

Yep, on route to Notts to drop off the USA parts, then it's off to see Brian May in concert... Open air, and it's raining cats and dogs buggeration!

Feel free to pop in one evening, saying that I'll be passing in about a week ( off to Dover), could save you the journey.

BCN & Matt's stuff dropped off,

I've taken a few pics, but I'll post them in a few days, mainly because I'm no where near a computer.

I saw the shipping label and changed it to GeoffSmiffs address... Is that wrong!

Next stop... Spalding via a boogie with Brian May... I hope he does Brighton Rock!

First thing...

The rain held off and the clouds disappeared, the rest of the weekend was a wash out though.

Second thing...

You great big buffoon!

Why didn't you say you had stuff from Martin to go to Donny, I'd have done the route the other way round.... :banghead:

Then again Phil could be travelling there tomorrow... :banghead:

Dave Speck met Dave from MechSpec...didn't have the heart to tell him I'm Mech as well..I thought it might push him over the edge... :lol:

Here's a few picks from Friday:-

Everything boxed and the Car's loaded...

You last said (2 weeks ago) that you were going to re-try delivery in a month. I didn't know you were going there until too late to change any plans. I also thought the concert was nearer Lincs than Notts.

Martin already had things packed, so I left things as they were. Phil is also going but I didn't want to add another 2 hrs to his trip since the shipping had already been paid.

Please confirm that there are TWO exhausts in the delivery.

Thanks.
