@ frank - the problem i have with donations is i feel they would come from the regular users - although people like yourself have been helped out you have in turn helped others! the people who come on only for help then go if they donated that would be fine but in reality that wouldnt happen!!

i am looking into ways of funding the site at the moment, the costs are not great, but the site is getting bigger all the time, i will keep you all updated before any changes are made but they will be for the better - and no annoying popups - i promise :!:

:cry: i dont know why you cant just admit to being a trader, we all know you are, you buy off ebay to fill your stall(veremu10) not just Transit stuff either, all early 70"s and 80"s Ford stuff, you have bought Mk1 wings on Ebay for approx £80 then put them on your stall last weekend at the Enfield Pageant and asked £200 :shock: now if thats not profit what is :?: :x

i think you will find that today people all to well know the value of early Ford spares and in reality theres no chance of people "throwing" nos Ford spares away, by you buying these spares all its doing is making it more expensive for the true enthusiast to restore or even to keep there classic on the road, where do you get that price of £200 for a Mk1 wing?? so come on admit it your in it for profit and nothing else :D do you own your own classic Transit :?:
