Definitely worth it if you want to bring in a lot of stuff, or bigger stuff (anything that'll fit in a 40' container! ;D).. Ron has been great to deal with (granted my stuff is still in Miami - next container leaves at the end of this month) and I'm told has been doing business for years, which has to be a good sign :)

:y :y

Not sure why there seems to be so much fuss about stuff coming from Germany...   ...the main warehouses have always been Germany, so its nothing new.

Ever since I've had my Omegas I've occasionally had to wait the extra day, because the only stock was in Germany.

Sorry, yes, I was picking up on somebody else's shock that Opel parts might not be held in the UK.

The price you were quoted was daft. They used to be about £12.

The only unobtanium parts for the trolley are the AMG trimmings... everything else is in stock, worst case 3 working days from Stuttgart.
Onanists always think outside the box.

I have been in receipt of similar generosity in the past (from a different member) and have made a donation  to the kind Oofer's favourite charity as he would not accept direct payment.
