If it can wait until just after Christmas I'll be driving up to Durham and I usually pass Derbyshire and Leeds on the way.

[Steve79]

Hopefully getting a few bits for the rover 75 from brodders.

 

Anyone near Stowmarket that might be coming within reach of Bristol or anywhere on m4?

 

Not particularly time critical but would be nice if I could get the bits before Xmas. Obviously monies paid and all that.

It certainly can, that would be massively appreciated.

 

Dare I ask how you'd squeeze an ls400 bumper in with (presumably) the family in tow?

[catsinthewelder]

If I take the Peugeot then it could rest over the middle of the back seat providing a helpful gap between the squabbling children on either side.  Ms C won't be coming to Durham because she doesn't like my stepmum.  I'm also hoping to find a trailer between now and then so I can collect some doors from Vulgalour.

Further to Steve's post, I thought I would bump this up to see if anyone would be heading from the direction of Suffolk to Bristol in the next few weeks.

[catsinthewelder]

Yay, the thread is working again.

 

As I've offered to shift the bumper I will but would anyone be able to move it west (to somewhere nearer the M6) by Xmas?  I'm now collecting a trailer from Eddy on the way up and Derbyshire isn't really on the way from Shropshire to Barrow.

 

I can't collect the trailer on the way back as I'm using it to collect R8 doors from Teeside.

[The Moog]

Slightly late notice but will be doing Accrington - Uxbridge tonight and then Uxbridge - Accrington Sat lunchtime.

Further bump up the pages. Is anyone going from the Suffolk area down towards Bristol over the Christmas period?

[Fabergé Greggs]

Any hope in hell that anyone could Trailer my X1/9 from SW Scotland to Essex?

Whereabouts in Suffolk and what needs moving ?

[Brodders]

The Stowmarket area (however I can meet up in most places around Suffolk to make any job easier); it would involve a few Rover 75 bits and pieces, such as the wood trim, grille and a few other small bits which would all be in two medium sized boxes/packages.

[Ghosty]

Reb, son of Richard has offered me some floor mats for my 850. He's in Fife or something, and I'm in Manchester. Anyone going that way?

[Lankytim]

Volvo Passenger door from Stoke up to Glasgow? Anyone?

[New POD]

Volvo Passenger door from Stoke on Trent??? up to Glasgow? Anyone?

I could get it to Wigan next Wednesday evening. Maybe.

Added the on Trent bit just in case there is more than one Stoke.

[catsinthewelder]

Please could somebody move a bumper from just north of Derby to somewhere near the M6?

 

I offered to collect it for L1 and deliver it to Durham just after xmas but have since agreed to buy a trailer from Eddy in Barrow so am heading up a different way.

[loserone]

Drum has kindly offered me a load cover for my Discovery 2, it's the roller blind type so doesn't take up much room.

 

It's currently with Tickman in Dundee but could be in Durham next weekend, is anyone able to get it closer to West Yorkshire for me?

 

Thanks in advance!

Where does this need to go please John? I may be able to pass by halfway through January.

 

As for the bumper, if it would fit in a pug I'll squeeze it in the scooby on the way back of the same trip between the car seats.

[Dave_Q]

Anyone in North London able to help me out with a collection/shitely please?

 

I've won a set of wheels on ebay which are in N19 (Kentish Town/Tufnell Park area?) and they're collection only.

 

Could do with them being picked up and either stored until shitely can be sorted or bagged up for a courier. 

 

Ideally need collecting Sat 29th or Sun 30th.

 

Have dropped a PM to PBK as I think that's near him, but anyone else in the area?

 

Thanks.

Where are you? I’m heading north tomorrow from north London, but on a pretty tight schedule so it might not work..

[Dave_Q]

Thanks FG, but the seller is away now till next Saturday.

 

I am in Brighouse which is off the M62 near Bradford.

[Dave_Q]

Right, Sir Kenneth is on the case for collection.

 

Is anyone heading London>North anytime after next Saturday please?

[Ohdearme]

Anyone able to pickup a 14in spacesaver from scaryoldcortina in Stanley & bring to Sheffield?

Does this still need doing?

 

I’m travelling south on the 29th to Birmingham so can pop and get this and drop off on the way down.

[aldo135]

If anyone is near Folkestone and needs to get north I have acquired a Xantia that needs moving... Anywhere closer would be a help. Thanks!

If I was to buy these could anyone collect them for me to make life a bit easier/cheaper?

 

They're in Biggleswade so not far off the A1.

[loserone]

Pogweasel, where art thou.

GET on some of the farcebook Mx5 groups , they are usually a darnsight cheaper than than that or at that price refurbished or with recent tyres and probably closer to where you are.

Where are you ???

[Jim Bell]

Anyone willing and able to run a pair of front seats back from Fife in that Scotland to Tyne and Wear in that England?

 

Shout up if so. Beer tokens available if you're passing.

i'll be doing that journey in a couple of weeks but will be in the 107 which is very, very smoll - I'm not sure they would fit, even with the seats down  

 

not very helpful, I know.

Ah bugger. That would have been ideal too. Are you sure they'd not fit? Could ask the helpful Scotsman to measure them up in the name of science?

[loserone]

Did someone need a car getting from "North" to Londonium? Or am I imagining it?

[bangernomics]

I wanted someone to need that so I could subsidise my journey down sarf.

 

Coming back up tomorrow and have space for stuff.
