Blue_Joe 0 Posted July 23, 2006 Well after the staff at JE got pissed on the 4th of July and "forgot" to send out my pistons (I get all the bad luck it seems!) Jim at Racepower made them call me - They rang me to apologise for the complete c*ck up!! Also stated that they have sent them express UPS and they are due to arrive with Racepower on wednesday without fail!!!!! So at long last seems we are getting somewhere. And all I can say is at last!!!! I took my car off the road the day after Edition 38 last year and it appears that it may well be the first show it sees 1 year later!!!! Also in the pipeline I have a very tasty little surprise that I hope to reveal later this week!!!! Thanks to billinjah i must add!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue_Joe 0 Posted July 27, 2006 any updates mate? No not yet! I'm not very happy about it as apparently they haven't actually landed in the UK yet!!!! Bearing in mind that they were sent over a week ago by express courier apparently, we are awaiting a call back from JE for an explanation!!!!!! Fingers crossed till wednesday then. You dont want that freight plane to fall out of the sky!!! Told you that wasn't funny - think you cursed my delivery fella and I'm holding you personally responsible :snipersmile: :2gunfire: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue_Joe 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Just got off the phone to Racepower.............................. DO I HAVE MUG TATTOOED ON MY FOREHEAD???? DO I HAVE A SIGN ON MY BACK SAYING PLEASE LIE TO ME?????? They rang me to apologise for the complete c*ck up!! Also stated that they have sent them express UPS and they are due to arrive with Racepower on wednesday without fail!!!!! After this conversation, where the head of JE UK stated that they had already been sent by express courier at their expense [sarcasm]thats nice of them! thanks for that [/sarcasm] , it turns out after Racepower spoke to the head of Europe that they only came off the production line yesterday and were due to be sent today!!!! Why do people just seem to feel the need to tell me absolute BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!! As you can guess - I'm FUMING!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mave 0 Posted July 27, 2006 You don't have the best of luck Sam do you? :( I wanna see your finished rado, but probably not as much as you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue_Joe 0 Posted July 30, 2006 Well I told you all i should be able to reveal this by the end of the week, it's not yet finished as the top has to be polished however it is just about there! Thanks to Billinjah for sourcing this one for me, I found one that he bought in Canada, afterwards even though I told him about it and helped him get it I got jealous and wanted one and somehow (I think a slight miracle - but about time I had some luck with something on this car!!) Bill found one for sale in Germany so I snapped it up. They cost was absolutely RIDICULOUS so please don't ask but I think it was worth it to get such a rare and stunning item!!! Another small fortune on XRP fittings and pipework and then some powdercoating and lots of delicate work with wet n dry and thats where we are now!!!
