Does anyone have a trusted contact that would be happy to forward a package on for me? The guy selling the item below won't ship internationally.

I'm thinking of this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=270002795935&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

So I understand that the 'across the pond' part of the shipping might be quite a bit but there's no rush for it so slow-boat shipping would be fine.

Oi! You nicked my idea for the spoiler !!!

Anyway - We all need a contact in the States.

I've found several bits, not urgent, that I can't get across . . .

I suggested that at the AAC-UK show. I think that we should set up an 'MKB' account with him that we can all use.

From my part - Anything.

I'd like to see if I can save some $$$ on shiping some suspension parts . . . Also will need some interior bits for the Caddy later this this/early next.

Good idea, if nothing else is do-able . . .

Smaller stuff is no problem at all. Some of the bigger stuff is where the postage costs get really high. USPS will only ship packages with a max length of 60" and max girth of 108" with a max weight of 70 lbs., anything bigger you have to go to DHL, UPS, or FedEx. A 5lb. package costs about 23 quid to ship and a 70lb. package costs about 180 quid to ship via USPS/ParcelForce to give you an idea.
