Title: OOF courier service - from Bristol to N E Lincolsnhire?
Post by: Diamond Black Geezer on 24 September 2014, 16:16:40
Any takers? After steel spare wheels and tyres, and provisionally the excellent RobG has four - in Bristol. Snag is they do take up a fair bit of room in a boot of course. Aiming for either me in Cleethorpes in North East Lincolnshire ... or Nuneaton / Nottingham as I have a friend who I see fairly regular living/working both those places.

I possibly have potential to get from Oxford to Northampton way, if that helps. Currently no plans to be going further afield.

Haha, Thank you Mr Bear!  :y

Obviously this all has to fall into sync reasonably well, so as to avoid inconveniencing any poor OOFers by having steel wheels hanging around their houses, and the resultant beatings/loss of privileges that may be doled out by respective wives/partners!

AH! No worries. I'm at work, so don't get to read things as thoroughly as I'd like. They seem to like me to do the thing I'm paid to do, rather than look at pictures of Omegas all day, for some strange reason. Bosses are weird!

So... revised...

Bristol > Oxford - joshwyatt provisionally Tuesday (time dependant)
Oxford > approx Northampton - The Boy
Northampton > Rugby - Webby the Bear (clear use of English dependant   :y  :y )
Rugby > Nottingham - Marks DTM Calib
Nottingham > Me - sorted :)

Thanks very much Webby, much appreciated

Hehe. Well, nothing we can do now, until Tuesday; when hopefully joshwyatt will get chance to pick them up. Again, if you're reading this, joshwyatt - if you get chance, that's brilliant, but if you don't no worries. I do have Beer money on standby in my paypal waiting....  :y  :D

Hi,

This courier run fizzle out?

I ask cos I'm going to try and get to Red Baron after my trip to Rugby. So if it's not now going ahead can someone let me know so I can just go ahead and talk to RB re a date to pick up the 3.0L engine I've bought?  8):)

That sounds like a question for your H+BS rep... good excuse for an inset day if you ask me ::)

Could sell it as a "What's the current operationally acceptable method of transpositioning Item X from position A to position B? The reason I ask is that I have dropped a paperclip on the floor and consequently have no wish to deny the Company of a valuable resource by spending a month in traction." or summat along those lines ;D

Hey all - just spotted this thread re-started a lit. well, yes, I'm still in need (getting slightly more in need now!) of these wheels. I'm good for the other legs of the journyey but the first Bristol bit I'm still struggling with. Any help can be paid with Ale, money, or a combination of the two!  :)
