Tragic arrives in NSW

[Tragic]

Well not quiet cause im already here, but my car will be here soon. I've booked it on the India Pacific as its the cheapest way i could find to get it over and should be arriving on the 10th of next month (fingers crossed i don't get bumped)

Appart from just being excited to see my car again, had to tell someone even if i don't know anyone here yet I was more interested to see if anyone had experiance with shipping there car by train? Anything I should be watching out for? I've already checked that Just Car will cover it while its in Transit and NRMA home and contents cover all the stuff i have chucked in it while in transit

Yay!

[Abo Bob]

I hope it's not too low is all.

[Tragic]

Its not too low, setup for handling rather then looks however... i have kinda piled all my stuff in it The good thing is my brother is required to drive it onto the train so atleast i know someone won't be doing a 4k launch up the ramp and riping out all my piping. He will have to have someone follow him there so he can get home so if its over loaded hopefully he can remove some of the stuff...

Hope your gunna keep WA plates on it so you don't have to get a bloody pink slip every year

[Duncan]

I sent my car from Sydney to Perth by train in 1995 and it was a nightmare.

Firstly some a$$wipe drove the car 85km and thrashed the guts out of it as it had used over a 1/4 tank of fuel and 1lt of oil.

I had the car carrier company charged with auto theft and threatened to sue them. They paid over $5k damages as the whole exhaust and chassis rail had deep gouges (car was lowered). The clutch and fanbelts were rooted, but the car was never the same after it was repaired. I felt violated, but I got justice.

I had used a car carrier from door to door, but it was handled by 3 different companies under contract.

If you are in control of the car, I would think it will be fine, but just make sure you keep the keys. I have heard that a few thefts from the cars does happen, so do not pack the car with valuables.

I ended up sending the car back via TNT road and had no issues, except it needed a good wash.

[Tragic]

How much did it cost you to send it back by TNT road? The goods in the car are all covered by insurance so shouldn't be a problem there... *fingers crossed*

[ECR033]

Hope the car gets over here ok mate. Welcome to good ol Sidinee

[GTR R35]

$1065 from memory, but that was 10 years ago

[Duncan]

I sent mine from Alice Springs to sydney on TNT about $1k last year

Well she arrived yesturday, all in one piece and not a scratch on her. Gave it a wash and she's shining now.

Didn't have any problems with the service i even had all my TV's / Stereo's in the rear seat and nothing was touched.

First thing i noticed driving in NSW around my area (Mosman) is the roads suck ass. I'd have to say WA roads are on average about 2000% better from my limited driving knowledge in Syd.

So watch out people there is a crazy WA driver on the roads...
