Wanted Shitely request; 4x Wheels from Ilfracombe...

[ruffgeezer]

I've seen a set of rareish 14" alloys for the Ax located in Ilfracombe, the seller doesn't want to courier them, so I'm hoping on of the AS crew is nearby and may be able to either collect them and wrap them for a courier or, perhaps if the shitely winds blow in the direction of Skegnesshire, somehow pass them along this way...

[panhard65]

I could get them as far as Bristol quite easily if anyone could relay them a bit further

[ruffgeezer]

Hmm that wouldn't be a bad start, my Sister is in Bristol so I could have a word with my folks and see if they are planning a trip down soon!

 

Thanks.

[Jim Bell]

Youre better off buying a set of 5 Peugeot 205 1.6 Speedline Pepperpots (with correct bolts) from me.

[ruffgeezer]

Well, ordinarily I would, but I have it on good authority that they look a bit wanky on an Ax.

[phil_lihp]

PM me to tell me where to go and I'll collect and store them for you for a bit. I'm only down the road in Barnstaple.

I'm going to be down in Bideford in early November and would be happy to collect them from Barnstaple & bring them to north London/Barnet, if that would help. PM if you want any help.    

[Sealtainn]

I am driving from London to Aberdeen on Nov 4/5th so could pick them up from Andrew353w and take a detour on the way up and drop them off?

[ruffgeezer]

These are now in the safe hands of mr @phil_lihp, so it'd be top bombing if @Andrew353w could bring them back east with him perhaps?

 

Cheers for everything so far folks!

If I can somehow wangle a car off work, I could take a trip to the Ace Cafe and get them as far as Peterborough if that would be any good?

[ruffgeezer]

That would be cool, you could have a nosey round the pug if you still wanted to?

[dugong]

Fuck. Did I express an interest in buying it?

[ruffgeezer]

Not buying, I think you wanted a go in it, although that was at least a day ago so you are bound to have changed your mind!

[beko1987]

i can store them in Oxfordshire for a bit if it helps if they can be got to me and all other shitely plans fail? There's a slim chance I'll be going to Crowland before crimbo but not planning anything...

[ruffgeezer]

I've just remembered that this was a thing the happened, is anyone still headed that way or have I most the boat?

 

Apologies to Phil who is probably sick of the sight them by now!

[panhard65]

Phil is picking the MG ZT up from me in the morning to take it to Eddy in the lake district. There might be enough room to bung them in if there are no tyres.

[dugong]

Not buying, I think you wanted a go in it, although that was at least a day ago so you are bound to have changed your mind!

Do I change my mind a lot?

[ruffgeezer]

They have tyres I think but they are knackered I can't remember what they look like mind!

 

 

Do I change my mind a lot?

I am not really qualified to give you an answer. Tomorrow I away to Clenchwarton and it's your fault.

[eddyramrod]

If they can be fitted into the ZT (there is other stuff aboard already) I'm perfectly happy to be a stage of the relay.  While home to the Lakes is obviously the wrong direction, I'm meeting Phil in Manchester so could drop them at some convenient point around there.

[phil_lihp]

I'd assumed they wouldn't fit but I can give it a go.

 

They're doing no harm in my garage if not.

[eddyramrod]

Couple of threadbare sheets over the back seat maybe?

[phil_lihp]

I'm sure I can find something, shall I try and get them in?

[ruffgeezer]

I have a contact in Warrington, I'll chuck him a message...

[ruffgeezer]

When are you guys meeting and where?

[bub2006]

Around derbyshire area I can help as per usual. Derby,Notts etc. Quiet fancy a day at seaside if I'm honest!

[phil_lihp]

Tomorrow lunchtime at Manchester Picadilly station all being well.

[panhard65]

I didn't think I would be here in the morning but it looks like I will be able to come down and meet you at 8 Phil and we can see if we can get these wheels in without too much messing.

[ruffgeezer]

Eddy, I'll drop you a pm if that is ok, my mate in warrington is worried they won't fit in his -ahem- Lotus...

[eddyramrod]

If Matey wants to meet me at a suitable point I'm very happy to help.  Lotus though, I can see that being an issue unless it's a Lotus Carlton!

[phil_lihp]

Should I be taking these wheels then?
