What about flying over and packing it yourself?
Could be fun.

I suggest that you go onto the Manx Dune Buggy Club site, manxclub.com and ask if there is anyone there who can help you.

It's a members only site to post on, so if you would like me to, I'll post something there for you.

Sailing would have been better a couple of years ago as my present boat [Hobie 18] would be friggn cold, and you need to go by yourself to be able to carry the wieght home. Or I could go with you Daimo, to show the way, and just leave me there. Very enviro friendly, NO fuel costs.....Perfect really....if you got the time..

I just got a package in from the US west coast today - 42lb - Express post cost $212. I seem to recall gearboxes weighing a bit more than that. Invoice date was 16 June.
