whats the most unusual you have transported jab ?
A most recent 'odd job'.. for us anyway...was to move a new A4 from the local dealer to Heathrow T5 (Its a wind up I thought..!) no its genuine...and its not going on a Jumbo...
OK...collect car 09.30, number plates haven't been fitted so they try to stick 'em on with thin double sided tape, no good and they have to do a proper job and screw them on, the key fob is an old one with a different dealers name on it, into the office for a new fob...well it is a new car so come on...! they can't find one so scratch that we're going.
Easy trip from here to Heathrow, 200 miles, we have the new owners mobile number and he has ours, do a Reece around airport and make a plan, ask that steward for advice...explain what the job is and ask where can we unload..park the A4 and find the guy...he's going to be 15 minutes early so that's good.
Steward says there's a petrol station at T4 so that will be ideal, find T5's short stay car park... there it is OK were on... plan into action..!
Arrive at T4, explain to the chap at the pay desk...and the Police who are watching...what the job is...no problem there...thank you guy's :)))
Unload and drive the A4 to T5 and park it up, stand outside the main doors and call the owner...he's already here and looking around but we haven't a clue what he looks like, where are you now Mr H*** ? guy next to me is obviously talking to my son on the phone...!!!
Drive Mr H*** to T4 and send him on his way in the A4, that was easy...lets go home..return trip...on a Friday, rush hour...back up the M/Ways 200 miles, took over 8 hours...flipping nightmare...
At least the car was delivered an the new owner went away happy.
We moved a Fiat 500 Abarth a few months ago, smart looking machine...tiny..! we could only tie the front wheels to the truck..! need more anchor points fitting
...
This business is only 6 months old...30k and 103 cars moved so far, all dealer jobs, hope we can find something interesting...was hoping for the V8 Jag but I expected it would be over the weight limit...and our friend in Finland would have an arrangement...I'll keep hoping.
Transporter is about 20 minutes away now..more later, time for some food.
