Title: Bargain of the day
Post by: Jimbob on 10 August 2007, 07:45:13
Got myself a 320L roof box yesterday from Makro, £39.99+VAT down from £100+

Well pleased, been keeping an eye out for a bit, but not wanted to pay the £150 odd they generally seem to cost.

They had about 6 left (on show) at the Chester Makro if anyone is interested.

Naah, just screw a pipe union in the bottom, run hose down into the engine bay and run the whole thing as an extra large header tank!

How do you get a Makro card? They seem to want your IR registration.

We've got one for our branch of the union and that isn't IR registered so there must be a way.

We do have a bank account for the branch though so that may be how our branch sec blagged one.
I think Mr McB has access to one so he may be able to enlighten you further.

I have one on behalf of my Scout Group.  

Application was a bit of a bodge job really, as I had to print a letterhead on my home PC showing the Scout Association letterhead and naming myself as the person responsible and signed by me too....

Could not really work out the logic!!

Looks like your stuck not having a bank statement for your "organisation". Does the ACME empire work on a cash only basis?  ;D
Do you know anyone with a card who could get you put on as a buyer, that's how our branch sec got me one.
