Moving Pallet from USA to UK
I've noticed a few on here doing some cross-atlantic trade... does anyone have any good contacts for getting a price to move a 120kg pallet from
the US over the pond to Blighty?

If you have bought an LS, I'll give you £150 for it.

Now't yet! Looking at a couple of BMW bike engines... might be cheaper buying from the States is I can find a pallet shipper that can do it for
less than $500.

Are they global or federalised engines?
If federalised, are they down on power compared with european equivalents?

Only if you're running them with their 'federal' intakes, exhausts and ECU's!

I would have thought the best, and cheapest place, to get BMW engines would be Germany or Holland.

I've had a look on ebay.de... plenty of 'em, but they are pricey (even taking into account the no VAT, Import Duty -v- US purchase)
