OOF at its best
31. Mar 2011 at 11:16

Last week I put a wanted add for some facelift Elite wheels, within a day I had a PM from dieseld4 saying he had a set and we agreed a price. His description was spot and he organised a courier to deliver as he lives in Ireland. I paid via bank transfer and with not knowing the guy or and knowledge of him, I was of course dubious. He told me he had received payment on Saturday afternoon, then yesterday the wheels turned up, exactly as described and well wrapped.
Gareth (deisel4) did exactly what he offered to do. Good to see genuine service and a helpful OOFer, Beats ebay for sure.... Thumbs Up!

I seem to recall you lent a member some spring compressors on the assumption they would be returned promptly , PM me when you're around

I advised and helped a member (via a series of PM,s) acouple of years ago to get what they were entitled to, which added to their bank account by several thousand quid. Im still waiting for a PM to say" thankyou". Sad

I too have recieved a great deal of help from the forum over the years.

I'm conscious that members on here give what help they can out of the goodness of their own hearts - and in particular with service work (AndyB and Elite Pete being the most recent examples of sterling service) charged less than to do work on my Omega than what it would've cost me to buy-in parts/fluids alone. And I shudder to think what a garage would charge to do the jobs - and I very much doubt the majority of garages would have the same level of knowledge of the car as the true enthusiasts on this forum!

Saying "Thanks", or posting a message of thanks on this forum, in recognition of the efforts and endeavours of members of this forum costs nothing - and I always make sure I do so. Thumbs Up!
