mikeyb10supra Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 why dont you get the car totally stripped and post up a comprehensive list of parts after its totally stripped + prices, I can imagine it does get quite confusing with everyone firing out PM's left right and centre, good man for taking this on CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I waited until stripping all the parts the bailiffs would have entered the house and taken goods to the value of. I would be grateful for any help people can give when the car is at Bristol with Martin. At this moment in time this is going to mean some long weekends and evenings working there with my 14 year old and Martin. So, if anyone can help out it really would be appreciated.

CJ Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Absolutely, like I said, speak to Matt. Could you let me know how much they sold for, who to and how they are going to pay? I can then start to collate the information to let Diane / Dude know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I would be grateful for any help people can give when the car is at Bristol with Martin. It's a shame I'm going on holiday for two weeks. I'd have quite enjoyed helping out with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonball Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Dude has not seen money (according to to him) for the parts sold prior to CJ's efforts?? Well done to CJ (and Martin!) for getting this all together for him (walking the walk...and not talking the talk!) Annoyingly, I could have sold those seats (well done Jamie - a fair price BTW) on behalf of Dude 4 months ago but message came back 'they are sold'... sometimes I just wonder...

Matt Harwood Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Dude has not seen money (according to to him) for the parts sold prior to CJ's efforts?? Well done to CJ (and Martin!) for getting this all together for him (walking the walk...and not talking the talk!) Annoyingly, I could have sold those seats (well done Jamie - a fair price BTW) on behalf of Dude 4 months ago but message came back 'they are sold'... sometimes I just wonder... Paul, I take that as a personal dig at me. In which case, Fuck you. I haven't had the time to do anything with the car. I've been working 6/7 day weeks and an average of 10 hour days for the past year. Not only that but Dude keeps changing his mind on what to do with the car. No, he hasn't had any money from it yet, but some of the parts have been provisionally sold for some time now. Personally, I don't take money from people until I can give them the goods. As such the people who have already agreed to buy some of the parts, haven't parted with their money, and as such, unsuprisingly, Dude hasn't seen the money either... Yes, the seats were sold. But the guy that was going to buy them has had a change of circumstances and had to pull out. However, they're now sold, so there's no issue anyway. Very few people are prepared to do something with no personal gain. I was. But my personal circumstances mean that I can't fullfill this favour in the time restraints reuqired by Dude. He asked my to do this as there are very few people he trusts that won't try to rip him off when he can't do anything to help himself. Any yes, thank you CJ for helping out.

CJ Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Unlike my friend above, I have no reservation in taking money off people before the parts are available and given the circumstances, I am sure you will agree that this is acceptable. So, those who have bought and not yet paid - hurry up! Dudes family needs the coin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Yes, the seats were sold. But the guy that was going to buy them has had a change of circumstances and had to pull out. That was me but I didn't pull out. I agreed to buy them for £550 but could never sort out with Mr Nice as to when and where I could come and get them. This dragged on for a while and in the end Matt said Dude wanted the car converted to 6sp and didn't want to break it afterall. So I gave up on them. Then out of the blue a couple of days ago Matt asked if I still wanted them, which I don't now as I've bought another car so I'll be selling the car I was going to put them in. I don't think I messed Matt (or anyone else) about at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark, if you haven't already done so, speak to CJ. No his drag wheels aren't sold yet, but they will be on offer once I get around to sorting that task out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 The problem was Mark, money needed to be paid and finalised to the Police by the 20th of this month. If I had waited a week and got better offers that time would have run out. I did what I felt was best for Dude and his family given the circumstances. If others (not you) felt that I should have doen it differently then maybe they should have offered to help sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
