    help: transport a car from doncaster to Glasgow?

    I'd like to buy one or both of Martyn (Blurtmagnet)'s coupes but it would be too expensive to get them delivered by conventional means. Does anybody know a man who knows a man etc that might be coming that way (ish) anyway who could bring 1 or 2 cars? I've only got 4 just now and frankly that's just not enough

    cheers

                  Coxy might be able to help - he's in that business (see http://www.cevl.co.uk/). If he can't help he might know someone who could do that journey.

                  Ck.
                  Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...

                    Raj - i don't mate. Must have deleted it along with everything else when i'd hit 100% on PMs one of the many times recently. would you PM me it? cheers

                    ck - thanks mate. I'll ask him.

                    Thing is the cars aren't worth much so it'd be handier if someone was driving up with space and I could give them a few quid to lift the cars on the way. To pay someone to go down and get them could cost a lot more than they're worth. I'll soon find out though

                          Noel your man Beetie is right they are still on the go, they bring cars to my work but i think a haulage company will be looking for a hefty wad of coin, worth a phone call
