Just to say thankyou to PetAir for organising the transportation of our labrador Finlay to Aus. Everyone at PetAir have all been wonderful in the planning stages. We had left the UK 6 weeks before Finlay travelled and he was with the in-laws so we used the Gold service to make sure they didn't have to worry about a thing and it really made all the difference - reassurance on the bloods/certification, booking of all the travel, collection from Dumfries was professional and efficient and organising everything for his journey was just wonderful. We had Rachel looking after the planning for our boy and she was always there to answer any questions we had and had everything under control - she was really excellent. Finlay only arrived in Melbourne 4 days ago so still has all of his quarantine stay to go. It's not easy thinking of your pet scared or alone but PetAir have definitely made the whole process so much easier and I would recommend their service to everyone! Now the countdown til we get our boy back...!

Hi Iron Chef,

Great post, the whole subject is extremely confusing so nice to have someone who understands it all! My question, I have a 2000 Audi A3 registered in my husband's name and we've had it for 3 years and have both been insured on it for the full time and registered at current address. We are looking at moving over to Adelaide in March 2013 as hubby has been offered a job! We'd be on e457 to begin with at least. The car initially was paid for very generously by my grandad when we bought it. It is now worth approk £1k in the Uk but is an extremely reliable and fun car to drive. My husband's new employer is likely going to be paying all our relocation costs so I was considering bringing the car in a container with all our furniture. As I said, the car didn't cost us anything initially to buy, and it worth more to us in reliability etc than the £1k we'd get for it. Is it worth thinking about bringing over? Or does this sound like a silly plan? How much is it likely to cost me in import taxes etc? There's no external rust on the bodywork but may be some underneath. There's no a/c at the moment but I would look at getting this fitted in Australia once it was imported. Also what's the situation like for getting parts and repair for older Audi cars in AUS?

Thanks so much for any help

Emma
