Thanks Rob,
The answer I got was do I have a DHL account so I could arrange my own

is hopefully off to Utah later in the year, so perhaps there will still be
some for sale and I can get them shipped to him. Lets see how we go.

has turned out to be much less, but not always. I am going to

so if I could get him to ship me two inside the US I could
bring one back for you too.
Regards
Rob
see if I
