	Hi all, Does anyone ever travel from Suffolk to (anywhere vaguely near to) either Bristol or Birmingham? I've won a gearbox on eBay, but the seller is having car troubles and is unable to deliver it (as arranged before Christmas) for at least another 6-10 weeks. It's been almost 3 months since I 'won' it. The Gearbox is in Exning, Suffolk, and I can be in Bristol or Birmingham! I don't mind travelling to collect it, but Suffolk is a rather long way for me - it would be awesome if someone can get it closer Have a few old pics (which have probably been posted before) as retro-compensation for this thread High.. Low...

	Suffolk?, You do know Surrey isn't in Suffolk don't you?, Surrey is South of London, Guildford area., Where as Suffolk is in East Anglia.

	Ah, Hang On, you do mean Suffolk, Not Surrey as you have wrote, Exning is in Newmarket.

	Could probably get it for you at the weekend of the 21st/22nd of this month - any good? Is it a beetle 'box? I live in bedminster and I'm taking my girlfriend to Cambridge for an interview on the Friday 20th so could bring it back on the sunday....

	Damn! If you had posted this up yesterday, you would have been in possession of your gearbox by now!! I caught a train to Norwich early this morning (6am) to pick up a car and then onto Gt Yarmouth to pick up some seats. I went straight past Exning on the way back from Gt Yarmouth! If I had known, I'd have happily picked it up for you and dropped it around! Sorry Dude.... 14hrs on the road/rail it would have made sense to come back with as much stuff as possible! Best of luck getting it sorted. Bruce.

	Thanks B&D and Mystery Machine Seems I should be able to finally get it sorted, so a huge thanks to Knobstar Bruce (Mystery machine) - do you actually drive a mystery machine T25 camper? I've seen one around Bristol... could it be you?

I don't 'do' V-dubs I'm afraid.....I'm more into the J stuff for my sins. This is my 'Mystery Machine': retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=42904 I like them more than the 'dubs because I get to do this sort of thing with them: retrorides.proboards86.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=54383 It might seem greedy having two of them, but they both have their place and both have their uses.... ;D

	Fair enough - the reason I ask is because I've seen a T25 camper driving around being driven by someone dressed as Scooby Doo Your mystery machine is on the same level of coolness - don't think I've seen it around though - it is fairly memorable Love it!
