Normans_Ghost Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Chris there's a bulk buy building up for a lightweight jack from the states. Do you ship stuff back from the states?

neil.cavanagh Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I'm probably popping over to Grand Rapids, MI next week so I'll see if I can find time to pop in and buy one... I've been looking for a new jack as mine has too high a saddle to get under the back of the car. Now 3000lb is over a metric ton, so should't be any issues with using it on a caterham... Though Mav's might be a little heavy for it... 😬 😬 Edited by - neil.cavanagh on 13 Feb 2005 10:58:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delbert Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Imagine the scene A young , innocent Mr Caravaner walks through Gatwick Customs Hexcuse me SIrrrrr, What is that under your arm. "Its a lightweight car jack" comes the reply from a now sweating Mr Caravaner The Customs Officail asks " Often take garage tools on business trips sir?" "No" replies the now confused, shaking and sweaty Mr Caravaner "Then I can only assume you purchased the said item in the US of A and as such Import duty is due, Bend over please" Picture of Mr Caravaner 🙆🏻 Pedant (noun), one who exhibits one's learning or scholarship ostentatiously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.cavanagh Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 nah...; 1) don't do lgw. No offence gtd but its horrible. the fact that they still the flight info displays (FIDS) my dad installed (proj mgr not fitter before you start sir paul) 20 yrs ago says something about it! 2)the jack is less than the GBP120 allowances allowed by 'liz &her boys in black & go d 3) its more the canon digi slr & oakley sunglasses i'll have bought they should worry about! 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
