    Hi folks

    I saw this a while ago, but can't remember who/what/where...

    Who is the transporter guy that can pick up a car from the UK and bring it to Ireland for about EUR300 ?

    I checked the stickies but no mention. Think it might have been Carlosfandango that was saying...

    Although I love the oul roadtrip, with the stop-over in Betws-y-Coed, EUR300 is going to save me from having to insure and tax the car I am bringing over (another MX5, to be honest)

    Cheers

    Frank

    Shame to miss out on a roadtrip alright.

    roadtrip indeed.

    Did it last w/end. Drove to Dublin, ferry to HH, drove to Leeds, train to Manchester, flight to Galway.

    Left here Sun 11:00, home 14:00 Monday. Cool:cool:

    Doing it again next week :)

    Ferry getting expensive, though.........170 one way. Liverpool-Dublin is great if you get a deal - I went over/back in March 130 each way. That gets you sailing, dinner, cabin and brekkie. Trip is 7 hours, but I sleep rather than arriving in the orifice of nowhere in UK at 3 am and trying to sleep in the car waiting for some place to open.........

    Nice one, well done! It must be very rare for an Irish reg car to be exported to the UK

    So that leaves you with another half-engined Porsche (this one an automatic) ;)

    What's the current plan? Sell it and buy a 996? Tiptronic? I sure wouldn't mind one of them :D
