I remember bidding on this guy's items awhile ago and I pm'd him trying to sus out who he was but we never ended up meeting. I think he might be a guy next to coogee beach who was selling a Coop S (apparently) I had a look at when buying my car 2 years ago. I prob should have bought it though - from memory it was a good deal.

Got in touch with the person selling this motor asking if he could help with organizing or tell me what the nearest courier is.. He suggestion..Look up the phone book.. :evil:

It pisses me off that people want to sell something yet don't want to go out of their way to help and yet he said it shouldnt be too hard to organise it. Be much easier for him than me from down here..

Just means he has lost a sale..

Mate its not that hard really - there's no such thing as "the nearest courier" you just have to speak to a division of a major courier company that does road freight between Sydney and Melbourne. Toll works for me and I think toll IPEC is the divison that does Melb-Syd-Melb freight. Just call the toll head office and ask for the correct division.

I'd be happy to have a look at the motor for you but obviously there;s little to see on an already assembled short motor.

Oh and chopchop I'm only now realising how many mini owners there are around the E. burbs. - deffinately should catch up.

Thanks Mike for the offer but as you said, not much to see anyway.. Now that I have slept on it, might just see what I can organise from down here as it seems to be a good buy really..

Just got a couple of quotes from couriers to pick up and deliver the engine from Coogee to Morwell.. $330.00 and it has to be put in a crate or wooden box..

Bit to much to spend on delivery cost me thinks...
