Default HELP! I need a car transported from Southampton to Felixtowe

Currently I have a car near southampton that is being shipped to Australia. It was going to go from the docks there but I've been advised that it is now Felixtowe

The place that are storing it may well quote me to move it but I am unsure.

Does anyone know anyone that could help me here and ASAP?

Cheers for the replies guys. I'm currently in Kenya so it would be expensive for him to call me.

If you want you can ask him for a price on my behalf or get me his number and I will call him.

I have also asked on www.shiply.com

I'll drive it (If it's driveable) for gratis Chop

I owe you many beers, would be the least I can do to help.

Let me know if I can help and when you need it doing.

No problem, any time I can help Offer still stands if you need it. Happy to escort the car all the way over, I want to visit Oz!

No snow on the main roads between Southampton and Felixtowe by the way, lots of the country affected, but this end of the world all groovy

How much did you get stung on Shiply by the way? Couple hundred Łs? Lots of companies shifting things on recovery trucks / trailers for Ł1 - Ł1.20 a mile and I'd guess at the trip being a couple hundred miles.

Much snow over there?
