As most of you are aware from *this thread* we managed to get Briggie (Pete) back on the road following his unfortunate deal regarding his newly acquired tuck.
Unfortunately the period of relief was short lived for Pete when the second problem occurred namely a failed engine.
After much debate and decision making we have had a very generous offer from solarman216 (Rick) *here*. This offer has certainly saved a huge amount of funds needed to get Pete mobile again.... Rick you are a gent :bow
I will call the garage where Pete's truck currently is tomorrow and let them know our plan and that Rick will be collecting Pete's truck very soon.
So, here is where you guys can help once again. We currently have £264.39 in the fund which will obviously be used to obtain a replacement engine. This is probably not far off what the engine will cost but, if anyone would like to add to this then please send your PayPal donation to [email protected] I believe if it is marked gift then no commission will be taken. Please clearly mark your donation as briggie fund.
Once we have Pete mobile again and as long as nothing else untoward occurs, I feel it would be only fair to donate any excess funds raised to a charity of Rick's choice.
A huge thank you to all who have got Pete this far... let's see this through to the end :clap:clap:clap
To clarify how to forward any funds no matter how small:-
If you have a PayPal account, you need to got to www.paypal.co.uk and then once you have logged in there should be a button to ‘send funds’.
If you send your donation to [email protected] it will come through to us here. Please make sure you send it as ‘Gift’ this will stop PayPal taking their percentage *, also try to make sure it says briggie fund on the donation :thumb2
Hope this makes it more clearer.
* Once again, I would not normally advocate doing this but, because of what we are doing here I am sure PayPal will not mind
