No mate - waiting on emails.

Send me a deposit and tell me where to send the bits then and I will . Ł500 would get the ball rolling . You said you were going to use Franco as shipping, but never confirmed? I think the plexiglass will take the longest. I take it you wanted the shaped ones as well?

Asked for how much deposit you wanted on Friday. I asked you about Capri Zakspeed kit as well. Will you round up and marshall parts for me? You already must know I am not a timewaster - will go elsewhere if you want - it is VERY hard to organise these things from half the world away.

Already asked for the shaped plexiglass.

No problem - just no crying emoticons like you are are waiting for me.........

Ahh Franco.

Thanks for your sending last time.

I need a quote for sending stuff to Australia.

I have no idea how heavy, large or expensive it is.

Can you give me a price

If you can get it palletized (as i'll be too expensive for me to do!!) and down to London NW10 I can do it for GBP220.00 hand out my agents warehouse only.

You can have it going to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane but you will have to go over and pick it up from them.

Any other rates would be more expensive due to the weight!

For sure keep the stripes, it looks superb, i'd go for 17`s for better ride quality imo, mine has 18`s which Max put on, but it felt better on 17`s imo..
