wanted:

1990 golf countries with a build year of 1989 in Good shape.

reliable/respectable RORO freight company recommendation(s) &/or container companies



roro = roll on, roll off car cargo shippers... no containers, usually = more cars in less space on vacant spots of car deck ships = lower cost than containers.

my brother, who'll be financing these arrangements along with myself, is a federal government employee of canada & has access to information about international trade companies at his fingertips. (he's a customs inspector) & can lookup info about any companies you recommend while he's on night shift twidling his thumbs/watching porn (they have to make sure there's no illegal content in all incoming pornographic material, seriously:p)

personally, and no offense, but - i trust Dutchman - due to knowing him & his rep online for 4 or 5 years now. you'll likely have to be a Good friend of dutchman's/personal friend of Dutchman's to be involved - again, no offense implied - business is business.

i'm still working out a proposed compensation plan with my brother for those who assist. yes, there'll be a few "euros" in it for someone. (by euros i mean currency, not wannabe american kids off the vortex!) on that note, what would you consider as fair compensation for varies levels of involvement in the finding, acquisition, and shipping arrangements of vehicles? (i will make a couple of local calls to auto brokers to see what it would cost us to have them do it)

on the note of who's financing most of this and what he does for a living, and the fact that he's big enough to kick most of, if not all of your asses:p, if anyone so much as thinks it would be funny to put so much as a poppyseed in a vehicle, or container, bound for canada with our name(s) on it that costs us cold hard cash to have searched/investigated, seized goods, or my bro's job - your ass is considered uberfucked to the fullest extent of international law. dead serious, this is not a joke - i don't mean to come off as a jerk in any way - but we don't want to clown around with international trade shipments and such is all.

he's at work right now so i can't exactly fire him an online message, so, i'll talk to him over the coming days and see where his thought processes are on this - as well as collect your input from your corner of the globe.

cheers,
richard
