Hi All,

I thought since Austorient Motorsport Logistics advertise on this forum, it was about time we started to
share some of the interesting vehicles our team handle on a weekly basis...

Hope you guys like the Sauber C9 which recently arrived back into Tassi after various race events in Europe , excuse the kegs in the back ground at the unpack depot ha ha !!.

Deb has a better idea but the car has been in and out of Australia a number of times with a few runs at Philip Island one recently i think.

I've met Deb. My guess is chewing gum and nails.

Luckily, she gets the guys to do it :tilt:

Hi dkabab,

I'll post some pictures of loaded vehicles tomorrow if your interested , there NOT exciting pics, however we roll in the vehicle and position, use timber chocks nailed to the container floor, in front , rear and side of each wheel to ensure no movement forward or back , then use brown lines / lashes , (same used on aircrafts to secure pallets) , through each wheel and secure to each 4 corner points of the container walls to hold the vehicle down. I'll dig out a few vehicles loaded on aircraft pallets as well .

However ferrarifixer is sooo right, (how are you by the way ?) I supervise as one doesn't want to break a nail !!

Cheers Deb

That took convincing! Wanted me to remove the kegs from the other shots... :p

I think she needs to hire tdc911 or 98octane whenever they load/unload awesome cars so they can report back here with awesome photos. Thoughts?

ah, so it's YOU...

there's a rule...

every time you hit your head, you put a dollar in my pot....

I was hoping to buy a Hyundai Getz, but I got that, now I'm going for a Veyron.
