SOS for Mrs Plank, (resolved)

Thomas-the-Terrano2 · 12-04-2014, 22:35

Hi all.

A big request favour please.

Kerry wants to take take their two daughters away with their caravan from Dudley
to Bridgnorth for the Easter weekend, ideally Thursday to Tuesday.

Its about 17 miles from their home, where the caravan is, 20-30 minute trip.

Plank's T2 has now been sold and Kerry's Vitara cant get a bar fitted til after the
holiday weekend.

Its a single axle Swift, about 16 foot, easy tow for any of our trucks. Kerry would
drive the girls there in the Vit.

I'm sure theres someone in West Mids that could spare an hour or two, sure even days
could be flexible with.

Love to see them have a few days away. Get away from the heart ache of last month or so.

Please comment or pm if can help.

If I was closer would have done it with pleasure, sure there must be a few who can help, Rick

Guys, i'd have loved to have helped with this one but I'm going to be away myself around this time so won't be able to help with this

It's great that they are getting away from it all and I really hope someone can help with this

Thomas-the-Terrano2 · 12-04-2014, 22:49

thats why i'm asking as its 170 mile round trip, x2 for me, full days.

though would chuck in towards fuel.

Thomas-the-Terrano2 · 12-04-2014, 22:51

even if can only do one way, let me know in case can patch something together,

thanks for positive thoughts already.

AlexD333 · 12-04-2014, 22:56

Fingers crossed someone can sort this out. Maybe we could all chip in for a fuel kitty?

Sweety · 12-04-2014, 23:14

Sadly i'm far to far away to help & don't have any electrics yet, hopefully someone in the area will be able to help in either a single tow or poss a bit of a relay of tow vehicles

Good luck with that, it's a nice thought - just another reminder of what a great club this is!

I don't have a towbar on my little car , but I will be more than happy to take the people without the caravan if that helps

......even though its a very long round trip for me .

thanks mate but Kerry has Vitara for transport, just lacks a towbar at moment. Think like
me and the mrs I do all the towing. Kerry is going to give it a go when its on.

couldn't we arrange for the towbar fitting sooner by perhaps a member who can ?

If my patrol was back on the road I would have helped as I'm in Telford. Really hope someone can help
