the transport tuck driver to get it on and off, someone in LA to park it and one guy to load it. Then some one at the other end to unload it. Then you...if you pick it up in melb

You will need a jerry can anyway, the fuel will be the wrong mix (summer/winter) and will most likely be off by the time you unload it.
Mine was, it started ok, but with a fresh tank of local brew.....it was a different car!

Rick,

Part of my preshippment is to drain the tank and only leave 2 litres in it...so def bring a jerry

By the way..first time I asked for a jerry can over here the yanks thort I meant a german part...they dont call em Jerrys :w:w:w

Umm..If I can get a chance to go for a lash in it I will.

and by the way, thanks for your offer (that you U2U'd me) for the parts for teh Backyard Blitz thingy

Cool!
In disneyland there was a lifesize full Terminator on display, in one of the mall windows. Pretty cool.

HI Rick,
I also could assist if required, if & when your flying in just let us know as I'm about 10 minutes from Melb airport.
Shermatt has my phone #'s or drop me a u2u, I'm always on these days.

Cheers, Geoff :(
