request/help related to the Ring/Spa trip

[alexk]

Guys,

I bought a set of E46 M3 18" wheels (all rears) with slicks (adv in pistonheads) which I am looking forward to use in Spa.
Logistics (shipping them over to CH) is another issue...

Instead of shipping them from UK to Switzerland (paying shipment costs + import taxes) I was wondering whether someone could help transporting them from UK to the Ring (where I will pick them up).
Shimmy kindly offered to take 2 of them in his car and I want to thank him for his help.

Is there someone else that has space in his car and would like to help transporting the other 2 wheels from Shimmy's house to the Ring ?

The 2 guys that will help (Shimmy is the 1st) will get 60 euros each, as a thank-you present; anyhow I would spend this money or even more for shipping them here.

Thank you please

I also don't live near Shimmy...

But i'll help if i can! :thumbs:

I'd love to help you m8 but I'll be bringing my second set of the same 9J X4 18" rears with me as per last time :smt112 so no room for any more of the same ... actually, not much room for anything else in my CSL Van :hahaha:

[mole]

I'll have room but again don't live near shimmy really. If he is coming on Sunday to Dunsfold and can bring 2 then, I can bring them along no problem. :thumbs:Let me know!

[s.mac]

if you can send them to Leeds I can deffo take them for you and you can keep the 60 euros and buy me a beer ;)

[Yanto]

sorry dude - I'll have my second set with me...

[alexk]

Guys, really thanks for your help.
:beer:

I have pm-ed Richard (mole) to arrange solutions for the other 2 wheels.

[AlexGTT]

Also very happy to help Alex but like everyone else I live as far away as possible from Shimmy (read what you will into that! :blalalala: ;)). If Mole doesn't have space I do. I don't bother with all that carrying wheels routine any more.:beer:

I'm coming out on Friday so could collect somewhere on route anywhere along the M25 - M20.

[DuncanR]

I will do it cheaper than Rich !! :whistle:

[TANKSLAPPER]

I will do it cheaper than Rich !! :whistle:

Have you forgotten your car is fooked !

[DuncanR]

Have you forgotten your car is fooked !

bUGGER ! ... i KNEW I HAD SOMETHING ON MY MIND ! COULDNT QUITE PLACE IT ! BOLLOX CAPS !

Latest update as of yesterday, Murketts are still waiting for a response from the Fatherland... it will mean that I may end up taxing the fooker for about 3 days in May:bigcry:... or just take a chance on them not noticing at the Ring, my mate Bert there will turn a blind eye !:hahaha:.
Have SORN it at the moment, Murketts need to MOT it, but cant until it runs, and until its MOTed... I cant tax it !:banghead:

[DuncanR]

You're just a cheap whore ;)

Whore yes .... cheap ... never !!;)

[azrael]

I'll bring em if all else fails, hopefully can get 2 18's in the boot

I've tried it and U can't :bigcry: ... not when they have tyres on and they are the 9J rear, anyway... one of the rear seats will need to be folded down :whistle:

[shimmy]

youre crap

ive had 2 19s in the boot!:thumbs:

[TANKSLAPPER]

It doesn't make any different if they are 18" or 19" the rolling diameter of the tyres are the same. ;)

[mattCSLnut]

youre crap

:birdman: HTF ? ... I need pictorial evidence of two 18" 9J wheels with 265 35 18 on, in your boot :whistle:

[mattCSLnut]

It's the 9J width of the rear wheels that's a problem... I couldn't put one on top of the other, they are too FAT :bigcry:

honestly before i had the cross brace of course but you put one in the boot and insert the other from the car and shut the back seats

hurt my back doing it but it is do-able but a bit of 'jamming it in' has to take place

[mattCSLnut]

I thought as much :whistle: U brute ;) :hahaha:
BTW, wouldn't be easier to fold the back seat down, put both wheels through the boot opening, then close the seat in "jamming it" fashion ?

Yeah shim ..but what offset were they? and were they on Cups or PuSsy'2s ? inflated or flat? come on mate this is a serious forum, where peoples quest for knowledge knows no bounds! we need the full story behind getting 2 wheels in your wagon ! :hahaha:

I can fit 4 wheels upright on the back seats, so If I can get 2 wheels in the boot then no probs.

Who needs luggage anyway? lol

Oh and you can fit a jack/4 wheels/ luggage in a mini one :-D

[mattCSLnut]

no:hahaha:
U like doing it :smt112 the hard way :whistle:

[TANKSLAPPER]

I cannot, and won't fit any thing in mine not even a passenger or a radio. :thumbs:

It slows me down :hahaha:

[alexk]

Shimmy and mole will help with the tyres, many thanks to both of them !
