Default Need to Get Car From Newcastle to Springwood - suggestions?

Hi All,

Need to get an XJS Jag to Springwood (15min from Penrith) from where it is now - Sealands, a few minutes from Raymond Terrace.
Truck driver for local car yard quoted $600-700, being a return trip for him.

Anyone know someone or if you have a trailer and would like to make a couple of hundred and a carton? We could talk Fords on the way up and back........

Cheers,
Bonn

I assume that as you need a trailer, it is not practical / legal to drive it ?.
Sealands, near RayTce. ??????

Mate, try putting a free Ad on gumtree - might get someone returning down from nth coast heading to Syd's west or BM with an empty trailer or a towy with tilt tray.
Also got nothing to lose in ringing towing co's in BM - they may have a truck heading home empty..
Good luck !

Yeah, thanks Ira - changed it to SEAHAM, but change didn't take - on train, using phone hot-spot.
The XJS is retro-fitted with an XJR S/C straight six and Wolf ECU. Have lost Confidence in Wolf, car been off the road for way too long, have moved regions and found a reputable tuner with dyno, in-house auto-electrician (!!!) and good history using Haltech, which all points the right way.

As I live close, and know both areas, I thought you might have been looking for somebody to eyeball/ drive/ deliver it.
No worries.
