Just don�t use the Russian guys out of Portland, OR.

Loaded an $85k �91 TDi Syncro Westy on the top rear position of the portable parking lot. Clipped a bridge with it. Told owner in Pugetopolis that it was �delayed.� Delivered 2 days late. At 10 pm. Owner had the pen in his hand to sign the receipt accepting safe transit. Berfore he signed, owner�s wife noticed that the canvas was �not right�. Opening the top revealed that the delay in Portland was getting an early model (�81) top kinda bolted on to replace the bridge removed original top.  Canvas was shredded. Owner�s insurance paid to repair the significant damage when the Russian�s bonding company suddenly couldn�t be found.

IMHO, Reputation is WAY more important than �inexpensive.�
