Good call. There is a CHEAP 951 in NC. I want it. The car is so cheap it doesnt make sense to pay to have it shipped, unless somebody want to make a few $$ this weekend. Plus I have customers I can visit in NC, I mean, I need to visit in the are and might be able to swing buy and pick it up on the way home.

The track bug has bitten and I fear it's too late. Paint? overrated. Nice interior? throwing it away anyway. Dent in the side? I'll give it one sooner or later anyway.

So rent a U-hual truck as well. U-hual trucks are set up to pull U-hual car hualers.

Jason hit a very good point. Shop some, you might find that you can get someone to transport for less that it might cost for you to round trip a U-hual set up. The ones in Pano are the top of the line, pampered car tran$porter$. Do a Google or ask around. I bet you can find Bubbas flat bed service to get it to you with no drivin' and rentin' hassle. If you are not used to pulling a car trailer you might be in for a suprise or two on the road.

I think it was around $500 to get the 914 from CT - VA, (of course I couldn't right it off as a business expense )

Good call Justin. The first couple estimates are ~$450, that sounds like the way to go.

Many Thanks!

Not yet. My buddy came over and drove my Carrera yesterday. I felt kinda sick thinking it might be selling it. Hard to explain. I feel odd buying a car sight unseen too, especially without garage space for it.

If anyone is interested in any of the following let me know:

81 SC - H4's, all updates, SSI's, recent suspension/interior.....
87 Carrera - no issues
2003 Mini Cooper S - 5k miles. Perfect.
