Wanted Shitely Request - Tyres from Bolton to Devon

[phil_lihp]

I've discovered that the rear tyres on the Hiace are both covered in deep cuts, plus one is perished and neither has much tread left.  Suffice to say, I'm not going anywhere much in it until they're replaced and it looks like I might have scored a cracking and highly bargainous pair of part-worns in Bolton, only problem is they're collection only and a long way from me - is anyone nearby who could pick them up and store them temporarily until they can be couriered or relayed closer to Devon?  Obviously, suitable compensation would be provided.

IIRC sporty_shite and theshadow are our representatives in the area.

Try Vernon Kay.

 

[Jazoli]

Or Peter Kay

Peter Kay could probably make a living out of it for the next 5 years.

 

Bolton is not on my doorstep, but if you are stuck I will do it, pm me if needed. 

No idea how to get them to you though, many won't carry tyres.  Storage only until next March.

[sporty-shite]

Yep. I'm in Bolton. Could collect no bother. If you want to pm me some details, I'll sort something out.

[phil_lihp]

Thank you very much!  PM incoming.  

 

This forum's great, it really is.

[mouseflakes]

No problem, glad to be of help. Give Vern my regards.

[phil_lihp]

I never cared for Vernon Kay, or Peter for that matter.  On the other hand, if either of them's got a Hiace breaking for parts, I'll reconsider my opinion.

I'm very likely to be heading Devonward a week on Tuesday if they can be got to - or near to - Coventry in the meantime.

[phil_lihp]

Thanks - that could be ideal if anyone is going towards Coventry in the mean time.

[sporty-shite]

I'm collecting these tomorrow, so if anyone can move them closer to Phil, chuck me a pm and we can sort something.

[phil_lihp]

Very grateful to sporty-shite for collecting them, any assistance getting them further south is much appreciated!

[sporty-shite]

The tyres are now at Sporty-Towers. If anyone can move them south, bung me a pm and I'll sort something out.

Garlic bread?

[phil_lihp]

Que?

[worldofceri]

Garlic bread?

It's the future, I've tasted it.

[Ghosty]

It's spitting!

[phil_lihp]

Bump - anyone able to get these a bit further south?  I could do with them in the next week or so, I'm looking into courier options at present but if anyone does happen to be passing that way I'd be most grateful!

[Dave_Q]

Can't help with the shitely, but depending on their overall size you should get away with wrapping them in binbags and sending for about £5-7 each via MyHermes.

[phil_lihp]

Hmm, interesting...hadn't thought of that.  Not much they can damage I suppose!

[worldofceri]

I won't be going to Devon this week after all, but will be heading down on Monday with stops in Newton Abbot, Plymouth and Exeter. Just need a volunteer for the Bolton-Coventry leg.

[phil_lihp]

That would be most excellent if the gap can be filled!
