New car & you're swanning off to warmer climates??? Don't worry Bodsy, we'll look after it, honest!
Nice one JMC I'll still be on a high from Salisbury when it turns up 8)
Always assuming I don't leave my sump on the plain
When I spoke to Mantec just before the groupbuy got a greenlight they were quoting earliest delivery for early-mid April, so you've really brought things forward.
Enjoy the e-beer I sent you I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Miami is a work trip. 6 days of 26 degrees + on the Miami Beach
Less than a week to go now for the first plates folks
There are 22 payments in for these plates which means that I may be left with three. However, there are three people who have said they will buy, but haven't paid.
I believe in fairness, but I also live by the idea that "money talks and bullsh** walks".
IF I have not received payments for the final three plates from those concerned by the end of next week (16th), I will firstly name and shame , then I will offer the remaining plates to others on this site who may be waiting for the chance.
Just got an e-mail from one of the 'confirmed' who is now selling his car and is pulling out of the group-buy. No hard feelings so there is now definitely 1 spare plate - with a potential for 2 more at the end of next week.
Anyone who wants one Mantec plate - let me know - first come first serve.
May still be another two available by the end of next week if the patern continues and nothing is heard from surflr3 and Dougie

Maxim, don't worry. If I can fit it (pre 1st group buy), it is really easy! All bolts were supplied, I even got a couple extra. It is very obvious how it fits when you lift it into position.
Just got an e-mail from Dougie who is waiting for a plane at Newcastle Airport.
He has advised that a cheque is in the post so that now leaves ONE Mantec Plate left.
Since I have not heard anything from surflr3 at all ( ), I'm taking the management decision to let this last plate go to the first genuine buyer to appear as of NOW. First to PM me gets it.........
Following our emails yesterday I can confirm your sump guards will be ready for Monday, however, I am on annual leave Monday and will be back in the office on Tuesday and I would prefer to deal with your orders myself so I would like to ask to you wait until my return on Tuesday before collecting
Without wanting to induce too much excitement round the globe, I am unsure if this means the entire batch, or simply the first ten .......I think it may be ALL of them
Either way, they will start to be despatched on Tuesday and I will aim to provide everybody with the on-line delivery tracking information as soon as I have it.
I am only waiting for delivery information & payment from Alex08, and I still have One Mantec Plate left on a first come basis.
