    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    You'd save a fortune by renting a car transporter trailer (Brian James or some make like that) and getting a car with a tow bar and bringing it over yourself, you'd pay stupid money for a recovery guy to do this...

    Total ferry cost for car and tansporter is 400 - 500 euro, also have diesel and time costs on top of this - so think a haulier might be better option.

    Think about this, an average recovery anywhere these days in or around the Dublin area is easily well over 100 Euro. To send a recovery guy firstly over to the UK and back, he is going to have to pay for the ferry as well! I'd be afraid to think of how much the bill would be at the end of a job like this if a recovery truck was involved. It would be a 4 digit figure and you'd be lucky if it started with a 1!
