[Mg-t] Fwd: Shipping a car from England to California

[Murray Arundell]

You can probably forget that idea these days.  Since 9/11 the airlines  
have priced the freighting of cars by air out of existence.  It used  
to be quite common down here to ship cars between Aus & NZ by air  
(have done it myself).  The situation now is very different.  Check it  
out by all means but I suspect it will be a dead end.
