Hi guys, Having just bought myself a 1964 Mini Cooper 'S to go historic racing with - I'm in dying need of some good mechanics tools in inches... I've found a nice set of Craftsman tools at Sears, but unfortunatly they wont ship or sell goods outside N.America. So my question is as follows.... Is there a kind and honest soul out there who could help me buy a set of tools and ship them to me? I would ofcourse advance you the money and pay any expeces.... I might even throw in a few beers too (or send you some *real* ones :o) The reason I ask such a thing in public is because should anything go wrong - I can atleast enjoy flaming, blaming and bashing the hell out of whoever nicks my money - and know that others know i'm telling the truth :o) I would also appreciate if [any] volunteers replied [on r.a.s] swiftly as the set I want is a "limited offer". -- ed_ ------------------------------------------------- Petter Solberg, Norway - 2003 WRC champion (7000 people showed up to welcome him home...)

Ed, you should have posted this three weeks ago. Returned from the US last week, and all I brought back was tons of dvd's, clothes and climbing gear. Could probably have fit some tools in there aswell. Anyway, the CART race was cancelled so it was a bit of a bummer... There's always Le Mans i guess :-) -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying
You could also try if these will ship to Norway - can't see any reason why not ! http://www.halfords.com/ourproducts.asp?root=1&id=11#11 AF sets is what you want http://www.machinemart.co.uk call +44 (0)115 956 5555.for shipping costs I've used both in the past, I'm not connected with either. There are lots of on-line tools companies in the UK and shipping to Norway shuoldn't be a lot more expensive than UK/Ireland shipping.

Hey Ed, Shoot me an e-mail at work so we can discuss this a little more. The company I work for ships to the UK quite a bit, so no problems there. The e-mail address is DaveA at ASLgroup.com I plan to make a run to Sears this weekend anyway, so the proverbial, "kill two birds with one stone" somewhat applies. Things to think about.. Would you rather use UPS, FedEx, or a company like BAX Global? We use FedEx mostly since our deal with them is pretty good compared to the others. Another thing to consider is import duty. I do not know how much the duty will be but, doing some more local searching may save money in the long run. Let me know Dave or KnektR when I get a chance to race on RASCAR (which isn't very often anymore).

I just forgot to add a few things, I need to transfere the money via Paypal so who ever does "the job" need a Paypal account. I was also hoping to send the goods via USPS (i.e the postal service) as Fedex or other courier services are to expensive i think... (a 25-30 lb. package is expensive to send...) I also need some help "disquesing" (sp) the package as a bithday or christmas gift in order to avoid paying taxes for it... Dave, Dan or Tim are you guys still up for it? The tools i need means I'll probably go for one of these sets; http://makeashorterlink.com/?J14C15096 - although I have not quite made up my mind yet... Suggestions of helpful advices accpted with thanks! :) -- ed_ ------------------------------------ Petter Solberg won the 2003 WRC

Yes I did, I was convinced Subaru hadn't got the measure of the French cars so I figured any Suby championship would wait til they sorted out their new car....Sheesh...who knew the Poohjoes would get crashitice disease? Or Citroen would chicken out to guarentee the Manufactuers title? dave henrie

Hey Ed, I just got back from a business trip and haven't been able to keep up with this while I was traveling, sorry. Have you found someone to help or are you still looking? I can do it, no problem, birthday wrapping and all. I have a girl that makes a run to the post office everyday for me at work, so USPS is possible. Let me know.
