[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 738234, member: 310216"] VS, if you are interested in a free 1.8M dish (!), can I make what may be an outlandish but do-able suggestion as to how the dish could be transported to you? It will mean me going OT for while..... A few years back my late wife Debbie needed to rehome a pet rabbit to the UK from France. She managed herself, to get the rabbit to London but couldn't drive up to the North West of England to deliver her to her new home. The person in London ran a pet rabbit forum and with the cooperation of her forum users formed what was christened the 'bunderground'. The rabbit was delivered to various motorway service areas, transferred from vehicle to vehicle and 'daisy chained' up the country to her new home. Now, I realise that we are talking of far greater distances and fewer participants (I think this forum has only a scattering of European based members) but could we attempt the same thing? The main consideration would be if the Alcoa could be dissassembled for transport. For my part (as I only have a Nissan Micra, not really suitable for taking large dishes!) I'd be willing to store the dish until someone from the UK could pick it up and take it over the Channel.
