Help!!!!!

This may be a long shot, but a month ago i won a set of wheels/tyres, and a set of transit front wings on ebay. Unfortunately i had to go into hospital before i could arrange collection. Im now out of hospital but cannot drive for the next few weeks due to external fixator holding leg bones together!, and the sellers require pickup of parts asap before they relist them!. Im wondering if anyone in the vicinity of the 'parts' is willing to pick em up and store them for a fee until i can sort out collection?. It would be a massive help. I will cover all costs incurred, would just be so relieved to get the parts safe!.

Wheels are in kettering, Northants......... Wings are in Ipswich.

If anyone can possibly help, please pm me.......



Thanks in hope

Can't help you with collection in Ipswitch, but if you get anything in London I am here, also ratwood has some whells he was going to give me, if you need them you are welcome to them. He's bringing them to Billing in August and if you loose the other ones because of none collection you can have those.

Cheers peeps, wheel problem solved, they are now in safe storage at a mates place :D ....

There's less of a rush on the wings, know a couple of peeps in sarfolk so should be able to arrange collection.

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
