Oh, Sorry about that, that was certainly not my intention. I thought I WAS offering constructive advice, I did say that I knew not where you lived because I knew that Loxwood will have been far too far for many to come. About the forum being a little narrow I tend to agree, I have been slammed a few times myself for disagreeing or saying something that bucks the general outlook but thats forums for you , they only reflect the diversity of the contributors, thats why we need more folk like yourself who are not afraid to speak up and say what they think. In defense of the users though, I don't understand why you are so surprised that people with no parts to offer you kept quite , its the same response I would have expected if I had asked for bits for my Inter. Sorry again if my comment about the streets not being littered with 8E parts sounded cynical, it was not ment to be, its just cockney hyperbole but I think you set the tone yourself, "Blinding response, chance to redeem" etc. Anyway, lets put it to bed. Changing the subject slightly, dare I ask, would you happen to have any Villiers 11E parts to sell, I'm looking for outsized pistons, fan cowlings, siba control box cover and various. I'm also looking for a 9E chaincase cover. I stand by my advice about ebay and Bond rallies as the best chance of finding what you want and when I say a 'fair' price I mean a high price [a "fair old price", misunderstood London vernacular ] , not as in fair/unfair. By the way, is there a Bond forum [minicars] because if not its about time there was, we will have to get onto Stan Cornock about it. Best wishes, Bob. Sorry, I dont know your name, but no offence ment or taken.
