Suprash Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 After owing my car transporter now for 2 years, I thought I would share with you a few of the cars I have moved over my time. It certainly is an interesting angle in my life that I actually enjoy, its nice to meet different people and to pickup different cars, sometimes its not even a car. I try to keep my mileage prices down as low as I always can, mainly to help fellow club member and friends out. I realistically make very little out of each job after diesel, its more a bit of pocket money, but hopefully it helps people out with a good rate service. Unfortunately I dont always get to picture all the cars I pickup, I might even have some more pics on my old phone, but here is just a few.... http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1158.snc4/150019_10150339302655384_640625383_16014479_7008468_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs992.snc4/76582_10150339240810384_640625383_16013377_1687063_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs380.snc4/44327_10150260600830384_640625383_14516868_6935222_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs215.ash2/47801_10150260601255384_640625383_14516871_2910100_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1226.snc4/155837_10150339257325384_640625383_16013652_2283009_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs990.snc4/76367_10150339259080384_640625383_16013654_7184213_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs570.ash2/149219_10150339263220384_640625383_16013731_6367861_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1194.snc4/154632_10150339264730384_640625383_16013761_7356541_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1134.snc4/149624_10150339265750384_640625383_16013771_1431082_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs493.ash2/76597_10150339267445384_640625383_16013800_6622130_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs444.ash1/24488_10150170225960384_640625383_11956239_3224599_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks for sharing Ash, there's some very interesting photos there. I love the 2-tier refuelling! "One careful owner.

dukenukem Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 That 1st one looks familiar with the 2 Supras. You weren't taking them south down the M3 a few months ago were you? I was in my silver Supra and went passed just before you turned off (if it was you?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Cool, good pictures. That's pretty decent of you to do it to help out and not make much money from it I do it manly because I can, and I do it enjoy it, except for for these few months over the winter with no heating lol, but for anyone who has to make a living out of this, I take my hat off to them, because you must have to really thump some distances and long days to get any half decent return out of it, unless of course you can be in a good position whereby you have a call out charge. Dare you to ask Stonkin to do a detailing job on it! Maybe he could have done something with it before it got that far, like at this stage, Im sure its just a t-cut job http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs215.snc1/8235_281996580383_640625383_8941093_3251467_n.jpg What was £1800, the transporter? Yes mate, bargain, never ever seen anything that low since, even last night I was trawling the net, keeping an eye out for a newer younger chassis cab, then I could take the rear bed off, and swap it onto a new base, but again, you cant pick nowt up for less then 2.5k-3k. I'll take the GS300/Aristo, please :-) Its still at AFR as far as Im aware That 1st one looks familiar with the 2 Supras. You weren't taking them south down the M3 a few months ago were you? I was in my silver Supra and went passed just before you turned off (if it was you?). I would have been a few months ago yes, if you was talking around the time of when Suprapod was on, which was Aug I think it was, because thats where I would have been coming back from. the 6th pic down, the old american pickup, did that end up in Ilminster?! Theres one parked up outside someones house here and its looks so similar, cant be many of those around!! Also the shell garage looks like the one just outside Ilminster on the A303/A358??! Ha, yes mate, thats where I dropped it off, Ilminster lol, small world....... I hope not.... Return from Suprapod ?? Excellent! You should get a little website started - Would make for interesting reading. I have a FB group page, anyone thats on FB feel free to join, would be good for a few more newbies http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=281996580383&set=a.281985170383.318886.640625383#!/group.php?gid=197921291312 That RX7 is hideous Nice work mr Ash.

Think it would be really nice to read but probably effort to upkeep. I would do it but I think in reality people would get bored, 8/10 its just a case of driving to destination, loading the car on and then to the drop off point, off and back home, its the 2/10 that sometimes might have something interesting to read, its prob better to just put up a thread once a year and let you see any highlights lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
