Call me persistant.
Well went to my Bank first thing this morning, saw a very pleasant young lady & told her I could not believe it took 4 working days to transfer money. She asked her boss who said that a urgent business transfer would get their next working day (monday), however I read the small print & it said that if its done before 4pm it will be there on the same day, I point this out & she agreeded so it looks like its been done on the same day, so why do they say it cant be done, beats me, yes it cost but only £27.

We will not be fitting a bigger Turbo cos it wont fit but it will be a different Spec one

pa_sjo · 21-11-2008, 05:26 PM

Yeah, same day BACS/Swift payments usually cost about 25 quid.

costina · 22-11-2008, 09:56 PM

Happy days looks like it will meet your deadline

Why is it so difficult to buy something when u have the money maybe this is why the world economy is in such a state

but u can buy a house which u can't pay for

Strange!!!

Hi Rod, things look to be going well for ya, 2 things Bud.
1) If you're heading up to Brunters etc for testing and it's not through the mags let me know and I'll sort you some safety cover cheap cheap in exchange for a lil bit of advertising. (Hell I'd just like to be there when it does 215!)
2) Who's the photographer from TG mag, I know a few of em from the test track.

MadRod · 27-11-2008, 04:21 PM

Nightmare , Nightmare , Nightmare.

The parts from the States arrived this morning, didnt know what was supposed to arrive so took them too mark. 50% is ok & just what the doctor ordered but the rest was a no go. Didnt hold out much hope of sorting it out when I phoned them in the timescale.
However he had supplied a part he considered would be best in our application, he still insists its what we should be useing & mod to suit, but its too late for that. Its thanksgiving overthere but hes going to sort it & hopefully can get it shipped tomorrow, if not he will travel to buy them & ship it on Monday. Good service methinks & several thousand miles away

.

CossieRich · 27-11-2008, 04:49 PM

Rod,

Told you not to get too upset until you had spoken to him. Did seem like you had been done over, but im glad it has turned out ok or at least looks like it will turn out ok

Mike Rainbird · 27-11-2008, 05:13 PM

Rod,
Glad you're getting it sorted, but where's my PM telling me what you've bought

Between Mike & Myself it rarely turns to shite because I PM him if it blows up on here & sort it out . I have respect for Mike, he knows its his fault that I got hooked on Topspeed runs

, I was present at Mikes 180.9 run a record at the time & was well impressed.
Dont always agree with Mike, but certainly he aint on my dislike list, only 2 people on that & they dont use this Forum these days.
