Twin U/j Prop Shaft

[Guest red7]

Doc,

Ring me in the morning 0191 4176221 and we can get something arranged, how desperate are you to get the Hood back on the road?

not desperate to get back on the road, I've got the clio to get me around, whenever's best for you is ok with me, I'll give you a ring tomorrow, how long would it take them to make the propshaft?

[Guest red7]

They say it's a next day service. But I did'nt push them and I had mine back in two days. I go past the factory on my way to and from the office. You could have a run up to my home this weekend with your prop. Problem is next week I am only in the office on Monday morning. I'm in London for the rest of the week. But I could collect next Saturday morning and bring it down to you at York.

 

This is what you get if the measurements are wrong! :boohoo:

[Guest docter fox]

I think even I'd struggle to get it that far off

 

I'll give you a ring in the morning to arrange something

[Peter Bell]

Steve, do they only employ midgets at that place?

[Guest red7]

Peter!

I am trying to work out a RHOCaR discount and you go and spoil it by writing things like that! They will never agree to a club discount now!

 

How's the Hood mate? Recovering from your bad luck? Got a big lock on the garage or have you removed the gear lever?

 

Funny story.

Me and a mate had arranged to meet up with some se7en owners at a local pub. Now how can you spot a seven owner in a crowded pub? The idiots had removable gear levers and had them in the centre of their table, they looked like sex toys!

Steve,

 

If you are trying to arrange a club discount you can get them to make me one up.

 

I will be taking engine out in October so about Nov (ISH) I could get the old one up to you.

 

Do you fancy arranging another replacement?

 

Cheers Lee

Update

 

Drove with Ken Brough down to Malton in the Hood to collect Dr Foxes propshaft on the way got diverted to Croft for a look at the racing and bumped into the RAF guy from Barkston with the racing mini.

 

I'm going to Commercial propshafts first thing in the morning.

 

I'll let you know how I do tomorrow on the discount path.

 

Steve

[Guest red7]

OK

Propshaft delivered. It's a replacement job, old one too far gone.

 

Written request for club discount delivered to the sales manager, he's promised to pass it on to the MD.

 

It's a proper sob story about Dr Fox being a poor 17 year old student and us RHOCaR boys being poor relatives to those Caterham toffs. :boohoo:

 

Gone to London for the week.

 

Collect propshaft Saturday morning.

I'm so poor I might have to use the old doughnut as an ornament on the fire place

 

Thanks again for dropping it off

That's fine and very nice it should look - Don't however use it for fuel

[Guest red7]
