Engine shipping

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Used paisley freight in the end. There not very good as they went to pick the engine up without having space then never told me.

There reply to emails was about 6hrs later saying it will be there by 6. Funny how it was already with me. one to avoid then.
