Faker Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Do we still have a Pony Express thread or service? I need a pair of real taillights collected from the Sandleheath - Fordingbridge area. The seller won’t post unfortunately, so I’m wondering if any of our members could assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 7 hours ago, Six-cylinder said: If you needed them collected from the ebay seller then I could collect them from Princes Risborough and take them home the 25 miles north to Buckingham. I am a bit restricted as to how far I am comfortable driving at the moment. If somebody else did not want to get free tea and biscuits at Six cylinder towers then I could take them out to the M40, J10 services or M1, J15a services for there next move north. that is an excellent offer, thank you. I've asked the seller about arranging a courier but if that doesn't happen then I may be calling on your generous favour. cheers, gm.

I've asked the seller about arranging a courier but if that doesn't happen then I may be calling on your generous favour. cheers, gm. Checkout Paisley Freight online - not sure how they fiddle things but they'll 'ship' most tyres/wheels even though the actual job is usually by APC (other couriers also exist but like APC they will not carry tyres/wheels/car parts [usually]) I've used Paisley Freight to collect (bad idea if the seller is a total kn*b as each failed collection is £10 + stress) but maybe better to get the seller to book the collection and then you pay them. Four wheels + tyres = £40 but you need to adhere to their packaging guide (loads of cardboard/bubble wrap/tape) Last used them two weeks ago for 2 x quad tyres on rims, £19.99 - collected by APC, delivered to me by anon white van man (who was very nice btw) gm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 yep, I've used them a few times. these are just a bunch of scabby steelies with winter tyres so packaging is less critical but I've approached the seller and we shall see what he says.

Minimad5 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Anyone in or around West Calder ? I've seen 1 alloy wheel on eBay, but is collection only (a good 4+hrs away). If anyone near could collect it and stash it away, then I'd be greatful. Then just to figure out getting it further south 🤔 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Thanks!) He is near Buckingham, and can also do M40 J10 Cherwell Valley Services. Or M1 Roadchef J15a. If anyone could bring them part or all the way north that would be much appreciated. Happy to contribute to costs. Thanks If it helps, I live near @Six-cylinder and work in the Gosport/Southampton/Portsmouth area a couple of days most weeks. I have a C Class estate. If anyone needs anything that size moving up to the FoD, give me a honk. Six-cylinder and mitsisigma01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I would like Mally's welder/generator for the FoD, but I am still not traveling that far for reasons. Mally says it is small, about 2ft cube, but verrry heavy. 2 man lift. Bring too near Buckingham MK18. I could meet on the M1 J15a services or M40 J10 services. Picture is similar. EDIT It now has a new home so thanks for looking but I no longer need it moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
