Postby GTAUS » Tue Feb 24, 2009 11:16 am

Well chaps i'm at it again....i just cant help my self.!
14 months ago i brought over my much loved Alpine to the world of convicts toimprove the motoring gene pool [Nissan GTR's are like bums here....everybody has one ]
So now i have got myself another Renault in the UK to add to the stable however i need your help on this one.
Can someone help me get the best price for road transport from Sheffield to Southhampton.....any transport people amonst the RAOC ??

Any tips or info or who to contact would be great. [the shipping companies tend to charge like a wounded bull for this service so i dont want to play their game this time. ]
Any help appreciated.
cheers John
