It only sounds like a lot of money if you say it slow.

I just paid $50 for a 5 minute tilt tray ride from one part of Adelaide to dry creek just up the road, then circa $700 (havent got the bill yet) to get table topped on a 40 footer to Toowoomba, then $6-700 to get to Emerald in Qld.
That was with no motor or box in it, so all up.. hmmm... what? about 600 kg?

I suppose it depends on how much money you can make in the time you would be away driving it home. Then again, it would be a great way to get to know your new car and the locals on the route home.

Sadly my toy never turned up today, they missed the pickup cutoff on friday so I wont see it until tomorrow or more likely wednesday now.

If you get it trucked, try to avoid companies with names like tipover transport.
