@speleo_de : Let's wait for the measurement from the boxes and from the trunk of my vito so that I'll know how many monitors can fit in there.
@thwocker: you wrote about the van "from england to europe" and I'm not going to England. So same response as above.

Also when are you planning to pick them up at my place?

I didn't know exactly what journey from where to where which people were going to make, so that's why I formulated it so broad. If possible, I'd like to take part in your trip. As for picking them up from your house, I'm sure we can work something out for all the monitors going to Holland.

Cheers,
Marco

I have to go in Holland to Gyruss's place in December and the plan was to bring along the monitors of ckong, level42, Gyruss, Falcon NL and hopefully yours if I have enough room. I'm sure this will work out don't worry... but if I have to stop for a game (or two) at each of these places, I'd better plan a 5 days roadtrip  ;D

ok - i just spoke to my mate in the uk, and this could work out too expensive for the "RAV -> Calais" idea.....  i asked him for a price and he reckons between 300 - 400 euros.  sounds a lot to me, what do you guys think ? can we get it done cheaper somehow ?
also - do we have any idea of a date roughly when the monitors will ship to and arrive at Rav's ?

Cheers,

And we have to keep in mind that we are talking of 28 monitors.

I don't mind driving to Rav's place (there are worst places to visit  ;)) but this would mean renting a bigger van and paying for the ferry/shutttle + my gas.
I'm afraid this would come up to something close to 300€. What do you reckon?

Any idea of how many monitors I could fit in there?
