MrHanky Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Just got thinking about this after AlanM generously gave me some indicators for nothing more than a donation to a charity of his choice (Cancer Research). Seeing as I have a few bits in my garage which may be of use to others but not really worth anything to me I thought about doing the same as it clears my garage a bit and gives some money to my favourite charity (NSPCC). So for starters I have offered to give Tricky Ricky my standard flywheel for the cost of shipping (only because it is so damn heavy) and £10 to the NSPCC. Seeing as the idea in the film Pay It Forward was to create good will exponentially, I will also give away my spare wind deflector (seeing as people always seem to want these). Just wondering if people would be willing to go along with this over the festive period and make a small bit of difference in the world. Feel free to call me a soppy git, but I always feel greeatful for everything I have and there are people out there who are a lot worse off and need help. If people think this is a good idea we could use this idea in the for sale and wanted areas. Thanks Mark Think I will pay part of the postage as well just to keep in the spirit of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glosphil Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Sounds good, if someone passes me a single turbo kit, ecu and injectors, I will gladly pass on my twin turbos, ecu and injectors and even pay the postage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ads Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think this is a great idea, was going to post something similar if i won Micheal's boot rubbers. What would make it better is if each time it was "Payed Forward" the freebie was better each time, hence the donation increased. just my 2p.

Not sure if that would work to be honest, as you can only use what you have available to yourself. What if all that Tricky-Ricky has around is an old ariel which somebody else wants, but its deemed not as good as giving away a fly wheel. Its the gesture and good will which I would like to see, not the amount necessarily I know you mean well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHanky Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Just had a thought. Maybe we could use this thread to help make this idea work. The only reason I know what Scooter is after is because I have looked at his previous posts and im assuming that its the oil level switch. Why not post your wanted / unwanted things here. If anyone wants some J Spec calipers I have my old ones doing nothing in the garage. They came off the car at 55k miles and worked fine at the time. I will see what else I have tomorrow.

Thanks Mark Think I will pay part of the postage as well just to keep in the spirit of things Dam good idea:) unfortunately all i have that i can think of is a pair of tinted std orange blobs that can go for a meagre donation to Breast Cancer Care, but i will take a look in the shed to see what else i have that can go:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
