white_sandshoe Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Hi there, I was wondering if anyone in Brisbane had a few days spare... I'm trying to get a car re-located from Brisbane to Darwin, and getting quoted stupid figures from freight companies. If anyone would like to enjoy a short road trip from Brisbane to Darwin to drop off said car, I'm offering fuel and food paid for, paid flight back to Brisbane and if you want, a few nights shared accommodation, plus $300 cash for your efforts. If anyone is keen, and available, email me on [email protected] or SMS to 0414 523 528. I'm hoping to get it here by (or over) next weekend if possible, but will need to know as early as possible to arrange return flights. Thanks. from G-Nut EDIT: Looking at the route and times, it seems it might take 3 days including return flight, so price has gone up to $300 for anyone willing to give it a go.

roladude Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Damn man I would love to do this but my boss won't give me a couple of days off work :bash: . If only my boss would let me. Let me speak to him again on Monday I will see what I can do? What suburb do you live in Darwin? Do you have a pic of said car? Would it make the trip to Darwin without any problems? Just two years ago I did the opposite trip from Darwin to Brisbane. The reason it costs so much to get freight to Darwin is because it is classed as a remote area.

white_sandshoe Posted October 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think Mungi Mods is the MAN! What a legend. Oh, Phil-keto, tickets back from Darwin can be had for a little under $200... If you wanna tag along it's no issue to me, but I can only make payment to one driver... :P Mungi, when do you want the ticket booked to get you home? I'll chat tomorrow and finalise everything if we can... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
