    Dunedin - help me buy an engine

    I'd like help to get an engine from Dunedin to Wellington. I know a guy in Christchurch (Dangerous) who might help with the Christchurch to Welly bit but I need help with the pickup and delivery to Christchurch part.

    The engine is an old 125 two-stroke and not worth buying if I include the freight costs. I'll need the engine picked up quickly but delivery can take a while - no hurry for that.

    Anyone able to do me a favour?

    I'll be in touch via PM and give you the guys number. That way you can arrange directly pickup etc. Hope you're going to the Sept meeting...

    Dangerous has suggested he won't be there. Can you take it to him for me? He's happy to drag it up to my place over Christmas.

    Thanks both of you for your help.

    Look for a Firestone ute and sidecar #27 to pass it on

    Thanks to everyone for helping get this engine to me.
    The heavy pig engine is going into a heavy pig frame just so I can have an all Kawasaki Bucket. Stupid eh?

    Thanks heaps.
