Default Can any of the 'Ring goers help?

I need to get one of Zoo's rear beams over to Germany and as I am taking the family, there is certainly no room for such a thing in the Escort (not with push chair, cot etc).

The recipient of the beam has said that he will reward the person with a 3-lap pass for anyone that will do it (worth 45 Euros).

Can anyone help?

Paul,
The beam part is 4˝ feet wide, so should do even if it requires the seats folding down . It will be all newly powder coated, so will be mint and won't get the car dirty .

Paul,
The trailing arms also, but they're only 2' square, so should easily fit in the boot. I have no idea - hopefull Brom will see this and reply... .

Cola,
Treated with the contempt you deserve .

if the arms are seperate from the beam, then i'll stick it in mine - providing it can be gotten here first - will go measure my boot now and then will give a definate answer

If it is the same as a 3 door grp A rear beam, it fits nicely behind the front seats in the rear foot wells as the arch in the middle sits over the transmission tunnel. The trailing arms, if they are the triangle shaped bits, fitted in the front footwell.

Why over load your car when you already have 3 people in it plus baggage etc.

Why not let JC take it, like he said he's taking his van.

Lee if you get stuck jump in with us mate.

Brom,
Afraid not, getting up at stupid o'clock on Sunday morning. Could you not give it to JC then, might be the best option if Paul's passenger pulls out at last minute?
Cheers
