I doubt very very much they would ship to States besides there would be some sort of permits required im sure.   Plant alone is 1172.00 dollars.

Well Jon,

Esimating the miles I'm looking at 11,500 for the round trip.
Since he's a member I will give him a fair member price.

This is considered cheap but I will charge him $3.25 per mile ( plus fuel surcharge ).

So we are looking at roughly $37,375 plus the fuel surcharge.
F/S is I believe at $0.48 per mile this week, changes every Tuesday. This comes to $5520.

Brings the total to: $42,895.
Plus all Customs paperwork are to be completed by the shipper ( that's another fee).
As soon as he signs the load confirmation I will be on my way with my big rig to the UK.

Hey Rafed,

I haven't seen the paperwork, yet. Did it get lost in the snow?

Martin,

That's not me in the pool and the dude is ugly! Although the pool would be a welcomed addition to my yard right about now. Might reach 100 today. So don't try to slip one from the rear if you're outside Martin, if you know what I mean.

Jon,
You will get your snow that I promise. Dry ice won't work but I'm thinking of placing a small freezer in the bunk. So you might get a bucket or two of snow if this works out.
