Ausrs:
did lots of phoning around to get my car shipped into Aus ...still in bond store in LA waiting for Dave Clees container to be packed
found that there were a few people worth talking to
John Cain (newcastle)
Geoff Smith (canberra)
i chose to go with Dave as it will be shipped to Wollongong ,makes life a little easier for me now all i have to do is WAIT :(:(:(

I took a punt on RO/RO shipping and it was fine in my case. I had  insurance for US$14,500 with a US$500 excess, this cost US$362. The actual shipping costs were US$1,100, plus A$650 this end excluding GST 10%and quarantine washing charges of A$250. Do not forget that GST is payable on shipping costs. :drink
I found the company I used good although it was shipped via Japan as it came from the west coast USA. I looked at hiring a car trailer which was $100 a day plus I would have had to buy tie down straps, whereas a professional car carrier with proper wheel tie downs cost $140. ;30
