This is a bit of a long shot, but I need to get an Omega rear door from RobG in Bristol to me in North Essex.
Just wondered if any OOFers might be travelling on the roads between there and somewhere near here in the not too distant future ??
I bought a door from Rob a few weeks ago, but by the time DHL delivered it to me it was wrecked - dents all over the place. >:(
Rob has another door which he has very kindly said I can have, but we dont want to use a courier again after last time.
I know its unlikely that this could be organised, but if you dont ask you wont know. :y
-
I have my own Learjet Albs.......Do you have a large back garden?.... :)
-
im going from north essex to bristol if thats any good ;D
-
Ask a sensible question Albs............and what do get ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
rather stoopit answers Rob. ::) ;) ;D.........not surprised tbh, Opti is more to be pitied than laughed at though. :y ::)

Well fly it up to your roof and fix that rather chimney stack. :P
-
I'll give a serious answer! Will it fit through the rear door of my elite to go on the back seats?
If so, can anyone get it to the NE Hampshire meet? I'll be going to that and could easily drop it in to you on my way back :y :y
Failing that... I can do it in September when I go to Newent ;D ;D

Thats better !! ::) ;D ;D......Brilliant Paul thanks for the offer. :y
I should be able to answer your question later when I get home from work, as I have a spare door at home.
Would then just be a question of whether someone could bring it up to the meet. :-/
Might have to start a seperate thread for that if necassary. :-/
Thanks again. :y
-
theoritically must fit in horizontal-vertical position, but the chairs will be the problem imo..

It's only one door though so shouldn't be a massive problem :y

Essentially, what you need is a door to door service. :y
(Needless to say, if I were not stuck in this keek-hole I would have that to you without difficulty)
-
I plan to go to the Farnborough meet, so if it can be got to Swindon, I could take there for Paul to take onwards .... :)

Albs, I believe Entwood is coming down for the Cambelt meet... Perhaps someone can get it to him in Swindon and he might be able to do the onward stretch? Just a thought :-/ :-/
Sure someone will help out :y :y
[edit]Just looked through this thread again and it makes me look thick as Entwood and I posted at the same time ^^^^^^^^^ ::) ::)[/edit]

<------ Door! ;D ;D ;D

It gets better, I didnt think there was the remotest chance when I asked the question. :) :)
Thankyou for the offer Entwood, much appreciated. :y :y
LD - in answer to your earlier question. It fits in the back quite easily, although it doesnt fit on the seats.the lower edge sits on the transmission tunnel and it leans back with the upper edge resting on the back of the seat, if thats ok ?
I would like to add that I wouldnt like anyone to end up with marks etc. on their interior due to transporting the door, so please take some old cloths or similar to protect interiors, or if in doubt maybe dont do it. I wouldnt want to be the cause of someone spoiling a nice interior. ;)

All fine mate... Seems like it's getting easier ;) Just need to get it from Bristol to Swidnod now... Not that far either in the grand scheme of things :y :y
-
Bristol to Swindon sounds more doable than Bristol to North Essex.
Whether this happens or not, just for the fact that Swindon to me looks likely to happen, it never ceases to surprise and impress, just how great this forum can be. :y :)
Paul - if possible I will try to nip out to the A12 to meet you on the way there, and send down a case of beer for you lot to share out when the days work is done. ;)
-
I'm too far away to help with the logistical side of things but may i suggest bubble wrapping & taping the whole thing up to save any grubby marks & bruising/creasing caused by pressure from sharp edges? :)
-
Good idea Guy, I will pass it on to RobG thanks. :y
-
Which "side" of Bristol is RobG ?? If its "my" side I might be able to pop down and get it, if all else fails ... or possibly meet Rob half way for a
beer coffee if we can sort out a suitable time ??
-
I have no idea tbh, but I have sent him a PM regarding progress so far. I will probably be able to find out soon. :y

If his map pin is accurate, NW of Bristol ;)
-
Which sounds like the best side?..........I have PM,d Rob the details of offers so far, so it looks like this could happen.Superb. :y
-
NW of Bristol is "slightly" away .. but better than SW !! NE would have been good ... If I can remember the password I'll look at OOf map .. !! :)
EDIT :
Another of the sites I can't access .. :( Getting a bit fed up with this now .. :(
-
Forgot to post in here t'other day .. :)
RobG dropped the door off at my place last weekend, left it in the greenhouse..... made me wonder what multi-coloured plants had suddenly sprouted !!
He also kindly dropped some clips off for me .. :y :y :y - I need to know how much I owe you .. :)
It fits nicely on the back seat so will travel to Farnborough next saturday ... then onwards with Lazydocker.
OOF Rocks.. :)
-
Does indeed :y :y
The door was one of the deciding factors on me still going next week :y
-
Why not just collect it yourself Albs? :-?
-
Why not just collect it yourself Albs? :-?
Because he heard you were coming :P :P :D :D

Bristol and back would be over £50 in fuel, which to me, doesnt make sense to collect a door tbh.

Thanks for that Paul.I must admit I did get a bit worried when it looked like you might not be able to go. Guffer and his mates could have been using my door for a target by next Monday. :o ;D

Well, he shoulda said so then. ::) :D
It would still be over £30 in juice, and I was originally supposed to be working next weekend, although it looks like I wont be now. ;)

Absolutely, I dont know of anywhere else where people are so willing to help each other out. It amazes me, in these days where we are all supposedly selfish etc etc. :y
Of the three people involved in helping - RobG and Entwood have never even met me. And even more surprising - Lazydocker has met me and yet he is still willing to help. :D ;D

I can hide behind a hedge and you just leave the door by the side of the car, dont mind really as long as I finally end up with a door. :y ;D ;D
