Gary, I bought a portable over here but having said that mine is on its way over at the end of March..... other than that all my machines I had sent over, tm, all wands, upholstery, carpet, sx 12, sx7, high pressure lances, all me hoses, cordless sprayers, bladder pumps, etcetera etcetera....... Give you an idea of costs.......50ft of 3/8 solution hose here without looking around is about 120 quid with an on/off valve... from the US i could get 3 of the same.... and thats just the hoses......... Chemical wise as you know I use maybe 10% from here the rest I have sent over...... A lot of the chemicals available here have been banned in the US so I like the more "friendly" ones I am used to using..... I think but am not sure..... the tm I use if you got it over here would be close to 18,000 and then by the time you add all the goodies I mentioned above would be about 28,000...... I had all my stuff including the shipping and recieving fees for just under 12,000...... Need I say more, tm's arent that expensive, just here in England they are but thats a whole nother story which I am not going into..... P.S. havent the postings got boring now we arent bantering off of each other, Best, Dave.

P.P.S. As far as I know there are only 3 machines over here like mine, although I am sure that figure is wrong, anyway, there is one in Scotland, one in Ireland and I have the third, best, Dave.
