| Talk to someone at Import Concern (or do a search on their forum) - it's been covered before there. |

Mackey transport.
OR...depending on what type of vehicle you ( ie pickup, SUV ) and it's pulling ability, you could rent a 20 x 8 trailer from Trailers Unlimited ( $85 per day, $300 per week ) or rent a vehicle and pull it there yourself
Maybe renting a heavy duty vehicle may be more beneficial also ( given the mountain roads.)
I pull my Ferrari via my Tahoe this way with no problems |

i was thinking that..and its not the cost of the trailer...i dont have a pick up or SUV to tow with, nore do i know someone who has the time to do it..and renting a truck would cost an arm and a leg..and being a camp worker i dont have the time...its really awful..im stuck between a rock and a hard place.
that and gas prices are astronomical

Just had my Z shipped from Cold Lake to Comox using Searail. It had a couple bird droppings on it when it arrived, but other than that, not a scratch! :) Took 10 days (they only ship to the west coast from Sherwook Park railyard on Fridays, so it waited for 6) so shipping time is good too if you schedule the pickup so it's there friday AM.
Price? Just over 1000 bucks. |
