The Dodge looked very similar to one my father and uncle had pre-war. Next time I see my brother I'll see if I can get a copy of the photo. It was an ex-taxi that they had bought and turned into a farm hack, by cutting the rear bodywork off and sticking a platform on it. It looked very Beverly Hillbillies I think the only thing that remains of it is the bulb horn which went to my brother after I found it clearing the family home when my sister sold it.

Other random things found included the switch panel from my grandfather's first car (a 1920s Fiat) and a WW2 bayonet practice rifle. I carry on the family tradition of keeping loads of random crap.

I have just come here to say that Buick is pornographic.

I shall now leave, after rubbing my trousers a bit, Vic Reeves style.

Back off my holiday today and just sorting the shipping both cars now paid for and will get picked up in the next couple of weeks. They are doing a bit of a deal and it will cost me around 3 1/2 grand to get the pair here including insurance and UK fee's. I have gone back to west coast shipping with these as they were so much better when I bought the Thunderbird than the muppets I used last time.

Is that in a container together or roro? If it's a container could you sneak a couple of motorbikes in as well?

It is a shared container they usually get 4 cars in

Do they double deck them? Seems really reasonable pricewise.

yeah they load them at angles to get 4 in. They will be going out of New York to Southampton if you have anything that might want a bit of space I can enquire.

Was just thinking of ways to maximise your profits really plus I like dirt bikes which I would assume are a nightmare to export unless you find a state where they would have a title?

Dunno if you've already seen this, but there's a massive collection of 500 odd cars going under the hammer in Canada shortly.
