Just ordered my copy through Blackwells for postage to Australia. I also ordered Factory-Original MG T-Series by Anders Ditlev Clausager which hopefully will also be nice to read.

Thanks all! Up in Scotland right now. Did Fort Augustus South via Oban to Inveraray. Mostly empty roads except Fort William and Oban. But still a lot if camper vans around, and coaches.

Blackwell charged me for the MG T Series book when I did the order and it just arrived, now they have just changed me for "Modern Traditional Morgans" and sent me a tracking number which is showing nothing yet. I expect my book to arrive down under in a week or two.

Chris ... I have a mate who works for the Steam Packet Company ... I'll get him to shovel more coal !! 🙂

Delivery must be tedious .... bad enough in the N of Scotland ... can take a couple of weeks for some stuff .... I thought most of the Transport-Cafes were closed down, so who knows where the lorry drivers are finding to hide 🙂

Thanks Kevin - that might help it get here faster.

I am not too worried, it will probably take another 10 day based on the previous book. 3 to 4 days to get from London to leaving the UK and then only a day or two to get here then another 4 to 5 days to get the last 300km after clearing Customs. To me it seems all the couriers blame Customs for the delays but generally things I order like books get though Customs within an hour or two of landing.

Amazon Australia are amazing, order by about midday and it arrives the next day. Each item shows on their website if it will get to your location by the next day or has passed the cut off. No idea how they get their couriers to be so organised when a letter within the same city can take a week.

I expect a lot of lorry drivers are sleeping in the back of their truck cab, we had a very nasty accident a few weeks ago, I think a sleepy truck driver pulled into a truck stop for a rest and ran into a few other trucks carrying flammable liquid and the whole lot went up, luckily no-one was hurt but the main highway was closed for a couple of days.
