Title: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 16th, 2010, 5:25pm http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx40/craigwhitehouse/12spokes1002.jpg. Evening all. Was going to hang onto these, but money is tight & road tax coming up fast so here they are ::). In pretty good condition with 4 x tyres with 5mm + tread left on them. The spare has around 2.5mm. Some kurb marks on a couple of rims but overall very presentable. Looking for £100. Any enquiries give me a shout. Cheers guys & gals... Craig :) |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 18th, 2010, 2:03am hi there what size tyers are they,dave |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 19th, 2010, 12:52am cool just right for my cossie let me have a think how i can get them from i think you live in birmingham near were i come from to lowestoft, dave |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 19th, 2010, 8:41am No problem Dave. Yes im in Chelmsley wood, Birmingham which is near the NEC. A bloody good run from Lowestoft im afraid :-/. but a straight run if i remember correctly...M11 , M1 , M69 , M6 ( coming from your end ). Might be worth asking if anyone is doing a run that way & would mind doing a stop off ( for a few beer vouchers of course ) ;) ;D |

No need to get on the M69, if coming from the south you just branch off the M1 onto the start of the M6........that's 30 odd miles saved for starters. ;) |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 20th, 2010, 1:33am are you saying you could maybe drop them off to me if so there sold. can you let me know what i would owe you have you been here before, dave |

|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 20th, 2010, 8:41am Hi Dave. Sorry m8, that wasnt an offer im afraid ::). I was in Lowestoft last year & was just recalling the route i had taken. Wish Rod had mentioned the M69 last year though :D :D :D. I,ve never been good with directions ;D ;D :-X |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Matt on Jan 20th, 2010, 6:40pm butting in here but what about a half way point meet? |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gozz on Jan 20th, 2010, 7:41pm Somewhere like GOZZ's yard 8) |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 20th, 2010, 8:23pm Gozz's yard eh ::) Will there be tea by any chance ? ;). Actually Gozz how big is your yard ? Might be a good excuse for a mini meet. Matt ... Thats it now m8. If dave says yes then you are riding shotgun ;). Besides you are the only person i know with a sat nav :P ;D ;D |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Matt on Jan 20th, 2010, 8:38pm no probs with me bud, but im in germany next week so dont plan anything then lol, sounds daft but what about getting a taxi to take them? |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gozz on Jan 20th, 2010, 8:51pm I sent one 12 spoke to Kenboy on DHL,it cost £9,four would be much cheaper than a taxi. Incidentally,there is always a hot kettle here ;) The yard is about half an acre but is full of Scorps in various stages of decrepitude!! GOZZ. |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by lesterlad on Jan 20th, 2010, 9:25pm Craig. Just an Idea to kick around, does any of LiverpaulH's fleet ever pass through Leicester (Ring Rd)? (I think he knows where I live, if he don't his driver Stealth Hearse does) If so they could be dropped off at mine and then be relayed to Gozz in the Emporium van when I do one of my trips to Wisbech, or even a trip out there myself on a Sunday in the Scorp as I am in need of a couple of bit's of that estate Gozz has in his yard if it still has them attached. Hiya Gozz ;) |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gozz on Jan 20th, 2010, 10:10pm Rodders. There are still a few bits on the old estate,it's gradually getting lighter !! GOZZ. |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 21st, 2010, 1:56am can somebody tell me were gozz yard is, his it half way between me and tons of fun. am i still buying the wheels if so we will try and organise to meet half way if that is ok with you i think it is craig i am speaking with, dave awaiting your reply if you want to give me a ring my number is 01502538721, |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 21st, 2010, 7:58am Hiya Dave. Gozz's yard is in Peterborough ( i think ) ::). Will try to give you a ring later as im at work at the moment. Alternativley there is a specialist wheel courier ( Wheel courier.com ) who will deliver them for £42.95. Might be the cheapest option TBH...Unless we can get a mini meet together of course !!! Wotcha think Gozz ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 21st, 2010, 7:37pm i met gozz at the leeds meet in the summer he is a great guy, the same for all the other guys i have met, how rushed are you for the cash do we have time to have a meet at gozz place would like to have a look at all them scorpios, if not will have to go down the courier route, dave. |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gozz on Jan 21st, 2010, 8:29pm Dave. You would get on the A47 at Yarmouth,we are 200yds off it on the A1073 a few miles before you get to Peterborough.Brum lads M6 A14 A605 over A1 straight through onto A47 eastbound,left onto A1073,alternatively punch through Leicester to A47.

And knock on my door as you "punch through", you have to pass my abode between the M69 and the A47. Just ask Mr Patel at the paper shop where the wood man lives. ;D Alternatively ring me. Edit: Gozz you have PM. re: lightweight estate |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 21st, 2010, 10:24pm ive found you gozz on google 104 miles from me if craig is up for it would meet him at your place, thats if you dont mind putting the kettle on, dave |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 22nd, 2010, 1:04pm Yep im up for that guys. Dave im not in much of a rush anymore as i've had a little bit of an unexpected windfall :D Well enough to pay for my tax anyway ;D. Rod do you fancy tagging along as well m8. Always got a spare seat if you dont fancy a run out ;). Actually are there many members around that area ? We could always arrange a 'meet' & finally put some faces to names. Im sure theres a pub / car park on Gozz's manor ::). Save clogging up his yard ( unless of course Gozz wants a bunch of reprebates clogging up his yard ). Let me know what you think of a meet & when you want to do it. :). Right then, thats all from me now. Going to a works doo tonight ( free bar :o ;D ;D )so i have got to get my nails done, hair permed etc etc etc :o :-/ :-X ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 25th, 2010, 3:36pm no probs just give me a few days notice by the way what tyres are on the rims, dave |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 26th, 2010, 7:55pm Hiya Dave. The tyres are....... 3 x Nankang ( would of been 4 but the local scallys ran a stanley through one of them >:( ) 1 x Tomahawk cant remember what the spare is ::). Im away from home at the moment so will check for you at the weekend. Any idea when you might want to meet up ? Cheers... Craig :) |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by lesterlad on Jan 27th, 2010, 6:58pm Well I'm going to propose a date for this ere meet up at Gozz's yard. Howz about Sunday the 21st Feb ? Now for the Time, I'm thinking 12 noon give or take an hour. That'll give Gozz time to nip down to his local watering hole for a shot or two of the hard stuff so as to calm his nerves ready for us lot descending on his abode ;D Craig / Matt Maybe one of you could give me a bell as you get off the M69 and I'll guide you round to mine for a half way stop for a brew. Edit: Just realised, Matt you know where I live, if you've forgot.... Sat Nav > > > >........... 139, LE2 6QT |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gozz on Jan 27th, 2010, 8:12pm Rodders. The watering hole is now a restaurant run by a gentleman of 'Emporium' persuasion :( I have to go up to Eye village to the Red Lion now! all good things come to an end ::).It's a long story which I will relate to you when you come. GOZZ. |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by david49uk on Jan 28th, 2010, 1:30am im still up for the meet but have looked up Nankang tyres on the net dont like what a read the one reason i was interested in the wheels was i thought they might have some decent tyers on them so that i could replace the four cheap tyers that fast fit fitted in the dry weather now the wet weather is here it is like driving a death trap, nankang fall in to the same bracket as the triangle tyers i have fitted sorry to much you about just thought there might have been better tyers fitted than mine, dave |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 28th, 2010, 8:30am No worries Dave. TBH i have been using Nankang for quite a while now & quite like them. Horses for courses i suppose ::). I did bear the tyres in mind when i priced the wheels up. If they had premium tyres fitted i would of wanted a lot more for them, as top branded- part worn tyres on E-Bay in our size fetch a lot of money. Not to worry m8. Keep me informed of the meet. Cheers... Craig :) |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gost on Jan 30th, 2010, 1:26pm Hi Craig, Im a bit lost with this thread, if nobody is interested anymore, Ill have them and collect next weekend if still for sale |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by Tons_of_fun on Jan 30th, 2010, 6:15pm Hi Gost & Gozz. I think Dave was hoping for some rims with premium tyres, which sadly mine arent so yes they are still for sale :). I think Matt is coming over next weekend to help finish stripping the spares car, so i will be here next Saturday & Sunday :). Now then which one of you fine gentlemen wishes to have them. / ::) ;D. ;D ;D. Cheers... Craig :) |

Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gost on Jan 30th, 2010, 7:55pm Well i want them but wont go in front of Gozz, What do u think Gozz??> |
||
|
Title: Re: 12 Spokes Post by gozz on Jan 30th, 2010, 11:01pm Bruce. I am not in the equation relating to the wheels,there was to be a meeting point at my place because we are about half way between Birmingham and Lowestoft,the latter being where Dave who had considered buying the wheels,lives,and the former is where the wheels live. Hope this unbaffles you a bit ;) |
||
|
