Mate why don't you buy the next one and we (Sydney) crew will collect for you. I'm sure we can find a way to get it up nord.
I left the last one presuming you were onto it (it went for a lot though).

Hey guys, Hope this helps someone out there. If there's no Lufter that's driving the distance, or you can't do it thru your work etc, I have used VicFast ( 1300 139 806,
http://www.vicfast.com.au ) to move all manner of size/weight bargains back to me in Syd: roof racks (kombi length) from Melburg; 1600 twinport from Adelaide; and wheels/tyre sets from Brisbane to Syd (eg 1/4 of all other quotes). All with no problem (other than typical freight delays). As long as items are addressed correctly, they don't seem to care how big or weird. Cheap freight sure helps the decision to buy those out-of-town bargains. Per Dan's suggestion, maybe Lufters can help with those "pick up only, but no couriers" bargains, and you can freight from the Lufter's?

Thanks for the link Paul I couldn't remember who told me about them or what they were called.

Yes, catch up required of the more formal kind (a couple of Lufters in the street doesn't really count...the Northern Alliance should be ashamed! Don't tell the Southern Brothers!). Meanwhile, my Bug has to limp somewhere for a new throw out bearing! So when school is back and I have a clutch...watch out
