View Full Version : Looking for Storage...

Guys,

Anybody have enough extra space that they could store a stack of wheels for me?

I've been trying to get my hands on a set of 8v Integrale wheels, which can be had on your side of the pond without too much difficulty, but the shipping costs from the UK to the USA are prohibitive. It's cheap to ship them back as checked baggage - but I'm not sure if I'll be making it over there this year. They might be there for several months to a year, unless soneone is planning a visit to the USA, or a car is being shipped over that I could piggyback my shipment with.

Hmmm... maybe I'll have to do Rally GB again this year, since Abingdon is looking doubtful.

Cheers

I could find space for them, but I might be a bit remote from where you want them to be for picking them up.

I could also find room for them Scott, and I am less than 1 hour from London.

Cheers

Tim,

That'll do in a pinch. I'll keep you posted. There's a chance (albeit slim) that I'll be over for the Festival of Speed, in which case I can pick them up directly from the seller.

If that falls through, I may take you up on your offer, since Milton Keynes would certainly be convienient to our route on the next trip!

Cheers,

No problem Scott. It would also be a good opportunity to meet you.

Cheers

Tim,

Could you e-mail or PM me with your address info? I ended up buying that set of wheels, and may need to make shipping arrangements in the next couple of days.

Hi Scott. I am actually away on holiday for 2 weeks from Saturday 26th March. I did not realise that they could be arriving so soon.
I will pm you anyway tonight anyway.
Sorry if this causes further complications.

Cheers

Scott,

If you are stuck, I have some garage space available in Wembley, which is outskirts of London.

Tim,

I don't think there will be a problem. The seller was willing to hold them for me until June, in the event I go to Goodwood and can pick them up personally. I still need to finalize the delivery details, so I'll let you know.

If he insists that they go out immediately, I make take you up on your offer Dave. Thanks!

Tim,

Is it safe to assume you're back from holiday and could take delivery of those wheels for me?

As I said before, my travel plans to the UK are far from certain, at this point, so it might be a year before I can collect them.

If that's OK by you, let me know and I'll have the seller ship them.

Cheers,

Hi Scott. Yes, I am definately back from my holiday now.

Feel free to contact your seller.

It may be best to get the wheels shipped to my work address in case we are at work when the delivery arrives at home. I can then take them home in my Fiat.

I will pm my work address to you tonight.

Cheers
Tim
