I've seen in many other car forums that they have a thread devoted to fellow members offering to help pick things up, store and post items bought around the country. Could we set up a sticky in here for that? I've seen many threads started about it so it might be easier if they are all in one place? What do you guys think? |

Yeah good idea. I had someone in Germany ask if I could post something out because the seller wouldn't post. _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."

Could someone please pick up a Diff for me in Hull and post it to Lancaster? The Seller isn't willing to post.
I'll compensate you for your time.
Edit = Looks like I won't need this now. The seller is trying to get out of selling the item. I was expecting this tbh. I would be a bit upset if a Quaife diff sold for 15 quid |

Does anyone travel from Chippy Sodbury (Bristol Area) up the M6 towards Lancaster at all?
Phil Has an exhaust that I would like but can't collect in person at the moment.
Thank you |
