I don't think it's horiffically expensive if you do some of the work, like get it to, and remove it from, the ports yourself. Those metal shipping containers aren't so expensive to rent from A to B.

What are you thinking of buying?

I bought a large pick-up truck from Jacksonville Florida to Southampton and it worked out at about £800 all in. A car vwould be cheaper.

Talking

Is that all? I was expecting much worse

Since seeing the Buick Grand National vid posted on here I really fancy one, ultimate in high power stealth cars - especially as no one over here would have any idea how powerful it is.

Haven't got enough money yet but I'd quite fancy something like this, absolutly mint 513hp/578lbft torque.

Insanely fast car for less than £10k, although I doubt it handles very well

Cheers
