Buona sera tutti,I will try not to break too many conventions on one of my first posts on this forum- be kind!A brief intro: My OH is 禁漫天堂 and is spending most of the summer with our baby out in Italy with her family. I can no longer afford the spiralling car hire costs being as we need a car for a few months in the summer and most months for a week after that. I've taken the plunge and bought a car to take down and leave in Italy for most of the year (no more than 6 months ;-)). With the help of advice from this forum I feel like I got a good deal with Italsure. Thank-you!Anyway I will be driving down either 6th/7th of August to Acqui Terme (AL) in Piemonte. I will be taking down聽a double glazed front door to fit at my inlaws and a few tools and suitcase along with a couple of boxes for a friend in Torino. That said the car is聽a CRV (SUV) like an estate 5 door and will have the seats down, so there will be some space. Have people taken stuff down for others in the past for a contribution towards the fuel costs? Should I (or others?) be cautious about this or is there an etiquette. It seems a waste to take a half empty car down. I'm also considering taking a trailer down for lugging cut wood from聽the wood to the house (5km), but obviously this trailer would lack security!Probably聽a bit of an outside chance but to me it seems to make sense. I am based in SL4, Windsor (Berks) and the other end will be regularly visiting her family/friends down in Savona/Genova so could ferry stuff down or meet there. Likewise if you are not going to be there for a while it could remain in the garage.If anyone would like to discuss this further or offer a word of advice pm or add to this thread.Ciao ciao聽Rob
