Importing truck from U.K. to Aus

[Tim Lovelock]

Thanks Lang,
Your words are reassuring. The freight forwarder who provided a quote did in fact suggest roll on, roll off, purely on the dimensions of my 'dream' vehicle.
The all-up costs at present put it just out of reach.
I hope this won't be interpreted as wasting people's time, but the information and advice I have found invaluable.
Kind regards Tim

Thanks Lang,
You are right.
And it will.

My wife has given me leave of absence for a short period and though it might seem counter productive to the overall dream, I am heading to the UK next week, with the highlight being War and Peace. Compensation and inspiration bundled up together.

Cheers Tim

Tim,
That will be bad news visiting War & Peace, it will fill your head full of ideas of vehicles to ship home! We might meet there. I know of a few other Aussies who are coming.

Why don't you come home and tell her you bought her a present while you were in England?

Ha ha, we have had that discussion, well 'she', my lovely wife initiated it, with a warning lol... I have called her the minister for war and finance, out of earshot of course lol...
Maybe if I find a diamond large enough, I could sneak a largish green vehicle out back?

Richard, you are right, have to keep the flame alive. I will keep an ear out for any familiar accents, and say hello.
If you chance across and individual Aussie please introduce yourself.
Cheers Tim
