Need a car transporting at a reasonable price.

Plenty on Ebay offering between =A31-=A31.50 per mile.

How about taking the safety labels off everything, and let the=20 stupidity-problem solve itself?

And when you think about it, not that expensive. £1 a mile is 50p a mile for the round trip (they have to get home too!). My bigger car with a trailer costs nigh on 50p a mile to drive, without even allowing for overheads.

Problem is most want £1 a mile for the round trip which comes to around £600!

: 200 miles from point A to point B.

400 mile round trip - assuming no travel from base to pickup point.=20 Transporter averaging 25MPG@=A34.50/gallon - =A372 in fuel.

1/2hr to load up vehicle and sort out paperwork etc. 1/2hr to unload vehicle and sort out paperwork etc. 8hrs journeytime @ 50MPH average.

So to deliver a car 200 miles for =A3200 leaves you =A3128 for 9hrs work.= =20 And out of that =A3128 you can deduct a days worth of insurance, road tax= =20 and maintenance.

Stuff that.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mick" saying something like:

Break it into bits and Parcel Post it, like Radar.

Mick ( snipped-for-privacy@gotout.plus.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

How much do you think it's actually going to cost THEM to do it?

Something big enough to tow a sizable trailer isn't going to be exactly cheap to run - on top of fuel, the guy's got to pay for insurance (road and load), maintenance, depreciation/financing the actual kit.

And that's all before he actually pays himself.

You find a charity offering subsidised vehicle transportation, let me know.
