Transport Thread

[1972]

So we all buy stuff from other members and as most of us have figure we all don't stay in throwing distance from each other. So be it a car or speedo cable, im sure there is someone who has a bit of extra space in their bag, or on an empty trailer.. So before going off and posting it or organizing for a courier or transport company, it might be a good idea to first try see if there is not someone going from CPT to JHb or wherever it may be. Maybe this will help a few people out.

So thanks to KCW The rules are simple:

- Post if you have an empty trailer/Bag and what areas you'll be driving/flying to.

- Post if you have something difficult or something you need to transport.

- Don't be a dick, offer to pay for transportation services, offer a a place to stay for the night, ect, ect.

- Don't be a dick, no charging full price for something that was convenient for you to transport....Unless you had to go out your way, like change the suspension under a bus so that it would roll onto a trailer. (the guy having you do transportation should have already handled stuff like that).

Happy Transporting

That said, i have a transporter going to and from Durb - Gauteng(various areas) atleast 2wice a week and have enough space for anything as big and heavy as an aircooled motor/gearbox.
Costs involved are minimal.

Phone a friend....,



If you can not get some one on the forum to tow it up for you, I do know, some of the smaller courier services will do it for you, Cheaper then Car transport.

Or maybe start a RELAY system, each member gets to tow it a few Km, as they move up the coast.

Hope you come right.

Wish I could Fig, my Van doesn't have a towbar yet!

Going down to Durban North Coast This Friday 21st Oct. Driving back the Sunday. Have space for items going down from PTA east.

Can bring stuff up provided it gets to me early Sunday.

Hit me up

[Bushpig]

Anyone doing a Pretoria to Cape Town run. I need to get 2 wheels (with tyres) and other small bits for Hitler Revenge. I should be able to get the bits collected from Blitz and delivered to PTA or JHB.

Bushpig, I will be driving to Cape Town in December if you haven't found transport by then.
