Default Need a car taken from Bath to Donny show this weekend

Can anyone, or does anyone know someone who can carry my BMW up to the Donny Show (Doncaster Race Course) this weekend at all? Please note it has low suspension and low bodywork, so it needs to be a trailer or lorry that can cope with low cars.

Will need picking up from Bath any time between now and Friday lunch time. It then needs to be delivered to the Redline stand Friday afternoon/evening or first thing Saturday morning, and then bringing back to Bath - leaving the Donny show any time after 5.30pm on Sunday.

Would obviously need to be fully insured (for £30k) while in your care.

How much £££ might I be looking at? I would drive it myself but the misses has just had a baby so this will be the first Donny I'll miss in about 10 years :-(
Good reason for it though

Please post here or email renton@futurenet.co.uk

I've got two friends actually

There are only a few people I'd trust to drive it, but they either busy wanking over small boys (Porkie) or driving other cars...
Plus I've just spent a grand getting the front end painted and I want to sell it later this year, so I want to keep it as mint as poss

If you have it inusred for 30K, when why not lend it to someone who will wrap it up, you'll never get that much selling it, so seems to solve both problems

I didnt know it was Donny this weekend... Blimey I never miss that. Out of interest why didn't you ask me?

Is it because I am a useless clumsy idiot?

If you can take it then great, but I assumed you'd rather stick rusty pins in your eyes?!

I have to say Rent, driving your car after you have just had it all painted and stuff would scare the shit out of me!!

Mind you I bet i could get it there in better condition than the wheels on the Skyline

low blow I know, but I couldn't resist.

If you could ask that would be good. I know it's not gonna be cheap, but then again nor would the petrol bill if I'd have driven it!

You wanna say things like that AFTER I've had a go in your Loti!!!

That's the 3rd time I've kurbed a wheel in 13 years Did a bloody good job of it though

I think Porkie summed it up on the say. I got out of the car at his house a looked like I was about to pass out. He said "you've either lost the baby or kurbed the Skyline..!" Did it about 200 yds from his house

Not holding out too much hope, but worth BTTing just in case...

Steve, I just remembered the front wheel bearing is shagged, so not even I could drive it...
