Wanted Shitely request - Sheffield to somewhere further south. Ideally Hampshire

[Stanky]

Wanted: Shitely request to transport Alfamale's Fiat 500 engine from Sheffield to somewhere further south. I'm based in south Hampshire, between Southampton and Portsmouth, but if anyone from that area plans to come down to Six_cylinder's sept meetup, or to southwest London in the foreseeable future and could accommodate a dismantled engine in a large plastic crate I'd be extremely grateful, and would be happy to offer beer tokens or similar.

 

Thanks in advance

I'm at amesbury so not too far from you, have decent boot space. I'm happy to help out closer to this end if needed. I'm also at home on leave next week so let me know if I can help

[bub2006]

Anyone on derbys,notts borders i can meet as ill run it from Sheffield to mine if needed

I could divert towards Sheffield on my way back down south from Accrington on Monday and take it as far as Camberley, so just a squirt up the M3 away from you. I just need to check with my co-pilot.

Roughly how big of a big plastic crate are we talking about?

[Sheefag]

I could get it from Camberley to SW London.

I'm 5 miles away from Camberley,so will help if I can.Working Monday-Wednesday,but off for a few days after that.

That would be superb if you could - what sort of time do you anticipate being in Camberley on Monday? I am in Suffolk this weekend but could easily come back via the M3 rather than A3 on Monday late afternoon? I would hazard a guess at being there at about 4 or 5pm? Otherwise i could head up to Camberley from work one evening next week.

And is about 35kg

I could accept it with a small diversion to Marlow, or if times stack up meet you just off the M4 at 8/9 Maidenhead then take it to CheZ_Six_Cylinder in September?

[Sheefag]

Beko, whereabouts is CheZ_Six_Cylinder? I know it's Berks. somewhere.

 

As an aside, I have a Miele vacuum cleaner that you could have at the same time if you wanted it. It's got controls on the hose handle and intermittently switches itself to standby. Mrs S has properly fallen out with it.

 

It looks something like this....

 

 

With controls on the handle similar to this....

Oh my gosh yes please! Even if we don't have an engine as well we should arrange to meet!

 

Chez Six_Cylinder is in Buckingham, a fair way from Berkshire, near milton keynes and, er, buckingham!

[PhillipM]

Bollocks, just went down from Shef to Bournemouth last weekend!
 I might be going again in a couple of weeks if you haven't sorted it by then - can pretty much do it in a single go then

PM me your number and we'll arrange a vacuum meet anyway then, but if we can tie it in with the engine then all the better.

I've also got various old electronics to get rid of if they're your kind of thing, a couple of old Panasonic 42" Plasmas, Harman-Kardon AV amp, that kind of thing. Don't be afraid to say no if they're not your kind of thing though.

[beko1987]

Sounds good to me, PM Incoming!

 

Do the plasma's work? Wouldn't say no to one if so, one of amys friends could do with a telly, but apart from that probably not. Had to ditch my surround sound setup when Eva came along sadly...

[Guest Hooli]

If the above offers don't come off, I'm doing Doncaster to Essex next weds evening so could get it part way. Going back the following sat/sun & a diversion is possible.

[Alfamale]

Sorry to be a pain in the arse but I'm away until Thursday, so can be colleacted anytime from Friday morning onwards

[Stanky]

Anyone looking like they will be visiting the NEC for the Classic Motor Show on the 10th (this coming Friday) who lives further south than Sheffield who may be able to meet Alfamale and shitely the engine inna box further south?

[Bucketeer]

I can run it south from Londonish down to you anytime Stanky. Also I may get further up North being a removalist but don't know when unfortun8ly.
