Following up from Simon's request here http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31810 and the few times I've asked who cna pick up or store mini items I thought we might start a list of who cna do what . I trust that people won't abuse it and expect big things done for nothing or ask unreasonable things .

Quote and edit with what you can do .

_________________

Name-Ian

Location-Coffs Harbour

Items-Anything , cars or smaller .

Pick up-I can pick up anything that fits into my ute (triton 4wd styleside club cab)but don't have a trailer yet , prefer to store complete cars . Have a portable engine crane so can get heavy items (complete engines etc)

Store-have an acre , rear section fenced suited to drivable cars , others short term on driveway .

Under cover-very small items only , shed is full .....

Preferred payment-fuel money for pickups and alcohol or mini parts for storage .

Comments-Can arrange a trailer at times , don't want the yard to look like a wrecking yard but can store things for a few weeks or so if required . Drivable cars can be stored in back yard with dog for security . You'd be best to organise laid up insurance if it's a good car though . I can take items to carriers/freight depot but you organise etc .

Location- Gulgong NSW

Items- Most - I have a ute and a box trailer and possibly access to a car trailer.

Pick up- Possibly as far as Dubbo, Coolah etc - basically a 100 km radius of Gulgong

Store- Most things - 25 acres and fairly secure. Dubbo is 100 km away and is halfway between Brisbane and Melbourne. I can be used as a halfway stop.

Under cover- No - garage is full, supply your own tarp

Preferred payment- Petrol is $135 a litre and the ute is a 308 V8, so definately petrol money for distances beyond local area. Definately need refrigerator restocked regardless of petrol costs reimbursed.

Comments- Always willing to help a mini person.

Christ! Remind me never to buy fuel in Gulgong!

did I tell you that I won a trophy?

Oh Gawd - of course you all know I meant $1.35 a litre. But its funny how the Cudgegong Valley (Mudgee and Gulgong) with its nine fuel outlets are consistantly and collusively $0.15- $0.20 dearer per litre than anywhere else.

They reckon its because we are a side road not a main route therefore it costs more to deliver.
