Thanks!

[Turbo-Brown]

Greetings chaps!

Many thanks to everyone for contacting me, Glenn I'm just waiting to hear from you dude

Just to let everyone know that there's a possibility that the cost will have gone up as it's taken such a long time to sort out any money.

If this is the case, I'll add the costs onto the final postage costs.

Cheers!

Alex

[carpmart]

Excellent Alex - is everyone now paid then?

[glenn]

[carpmart]

Hi Alex - what's the status on this now? Have the flanges been ordered ok and do you have a delivery date to you?

[Turbo-Brown]

I'm still waiting on the last payment I'm afraid mate

[Ant]

thats in the post tonight Alex

Sorry guys, busy busy .

[carpmart]

Oh! - I didn't realise that they wern't even ordered yet!

Alex, whats the timeline between order and delivery?

[Turbo-Brown]

It's 7 days between cleared funds and them delivering and unfortunately they can't take credit cards

Will get them as soon as I can!

[Turbo-Brown]

Ant mate, has the cheque gone in the post yet?

[Ant]

you should have the Kite by now Alex........ I made it out for £150 I ditched the PM with the correct £Â£Ã‚£ on it Doh !!

lemme know if its short dude ??

[Turbo-Brown]

Oh lame, hopefully it'll have turned up today! If not I'll give you a bell dude

[e30_Turbo]

I can't bloody wait to get my hands on them, was out today on the hunt for some "make my life easier" parts and look what I found!


I ordered a few other bits too but need to pop back for them later in the week. I don't mind them being a bit thicker than ideal but that's not bad idea for me as my welding is still in need of many hours of practice.

ive got some elbows just like that in my shed if anyone is after some, got some straight pipe aswell, about 4 metres of it about 4mm wall 1 1/4" and 1 1/2", what i made my log from, i found it quite hard to find a plubing merchant to sell me anything accept a full length

[e30_Turbo]

I forgot to ask about a straight length of pipe while I was there, would have yours off you but P&P on that lot will be a few £Â£. The supplier I got that from is just off the motorway I use for work, which is handy.
They're 1 1/4 inch normal gauge with atleast 4mm walls, the blokes in the shop weren't expecting the reply they got when they asked why I wanted them but once they'd got the idea they started coming out with loads of ideas, bends, splits etc. I'm still not 100% sure what else I need but until the flanges get here I'm not really able to get started.
Still gotta explain to the misses why the electricity bill will be a little higher next month

Mark.

[WillG]

well i can cut off 1/2 a meter or a few smaller sections if you like, its only to help out you boost junkies, im not looking to make any money, i know it can be awkward to get

Cheers dude, I'll let you know how I get on when I pop back there later in the week.

Thanks, Mark.

[Turbo-Brown]

PROGRESS

Put the cheques in the bank today so they should hopefully all clear by next weekend and I can make the order

Ooh, excitement! Really looking forward to starting my new mani

[carpmart]

I am looking forward to starting mine as well but my project is 100% stalled at the moment waiting for this!

Alex, if you finally have all the cheques, please can you not at least place the order rather than waiting a week for them to clear? It would at least save a bit of time!

[Turbo-Brown]

I'd love to be able to move this along a bit quicker, but the problem is that if anything goes wrong with any of the uncleared payments, I stand to foot the bill myself and I can't really afford to take the risk

[Ant]

Fair point well made Alex, having been stung myself totally agree with this.

[carpmart]

More delay!

Surely the whole purchase/sale/group purchase scenario works only on the basis of trust, but despite you having the cheques, you don't trust us enough to place the order? I don't get this? Or have I missed the point?

[Turbo-Brown]

You're quite right it does work on the basis of trust and I thank you guys for yours in me.

It only takes someone's cheque to bounce though, for whatever reason and I don't suspect that foul play would figure in it, and I'm landed with the bill for stuff I don't need and probably can't shift.

Please try to see it from my point of view You perhaps wouldn't send someone a set of wheels they'd sent you a £60 cheque for without it first clearing.

[Turbo-Brown]

Ok, the wheels are in motion! ("at last" I hear you cry!)

Will still have to work out the final postage from me to you, but I can arrange to receive Paypal to help speed things along if that's of help to people.

Cheers for your patience so far guys, nearly there

[carpmart]

[e30_Turbo]

Cool

Drop us a PM when they're with you and I'll organise a collection, can poss do everyone's deliveries if you can tell me a weight and the address? Although snail mail maybe cheaper!

Mark.

What are these from for future reference?

[Turbo-Brown]

Are they those steam pipe elbows or something?

Look meaty!

[e30_Turbo]

Are they those steam pipe elbows or something?

Look meaty!

Pretty much, I knew they existed but it took a few trys to find a stockist local to me. They're knowm as welding elbows and come in a few sizes, stayed with 1 1/4inch as I don't want to use all the limited space up with the new manifold.

HTH, Mark.

[e30_Turbo]

Alex,

Got any dates for these as yet?






( welders getting twitchy! )

[Turbo-Brown]

Come to think of it I haven't

Will give them a call on Monday! I've got two seperate orders in with them (this one and one I placed a week earlier for another project) and haven't had anything though yet!

[Turbo-Brown]

Ooh, having said that, the other bits I'd ordered were at home when I got back from work today so shouldn't be long now

[e30_Turbo]

Coolio, better get my arse in gear and grab the other bits of pipe I need.
