Re: [DML] Eurofest 2001



Gus and Belfast 2001 visitors,

I sent my DeLorean from LosAngeles back to Britain last Christmas. Shipping
(in a container including $20k insurance cover) cost $1000. Car went into
docks in London, the Customs officers and shippers were all over me asking
permission to take photos standing by the car. I also got quotes for roll-on
roll-off ferries from NY, Baltimore, Florida, or Houston for about $500 one
way. Car is tied down inside the transporter ferry ... driven in, driven
out. Ferry docks into Liverpool or Portsmouth in England.

You can import the car under a 'Carnet-de-passage' without hassle. My
DeLorean in N.Ireland is a LHD (along with most of the other DMCs there!) so
you can drive without problems ... take it easy to start with!!! Remember at
junctions to turn onto the left side lane, etc...

Cheers, IAN (HongKong)
