    http://www.eliteshipping.co.uk/conte...?categoryId=11 this gives UK typical costs. You would be best to find an IMPORT company in the US and ask them.

    It's amazingly cheap if you arrange the car to get to the dock and arrange pick up from dockside at other side. Friend tours the world in his Jag couple of times a year !

    EVEN cheaper if you work directly with the ship owners, but that is fraught with dangers of arranging insurance cover and usually your own container.

    Actually, it was a joke reffering to my over-ambitious aspirations towards my first car. Good think you got it.

    how much are atoms anyway?
