It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

I have only 5 people paid so far for their tools - I need payment before I order at the end of this month - thats 1 week away - try and get your money in early if you can so that I dont have to wait till the 11th hour to order. If you need the time to get the money together - thats fine - just send me a PM to let me know you are still keen!

Cheers,
Leigh.
So how did we go?

Are we going ahead with the order?

Hi Guys - yes I will be putting in an order this weekend. Just have to tidy up my paperwork.

Good news on the wire front, it looks like I will get the wire in time to bring it to the AABC for those who wish to pick up.

Cheers,
Leigh.

Freight by sea usually takes 8 weeks to get here - then another week in customs.
The tools were shipped from Japan on 13 april.

Dont worry - I wont sit around with the tools in the garage. As soon as they arrive - I will post a message right here!
Cheers,
Leigh.

Thanks to all for their PM's asking if the tools have arrived - I would be keen too. Unfortunately I cannot speed this process up. I wont be answering any more PMs about the tools until 15th June, which is the date that they are likely to arrive.

Sorry to sound like a grouch about this, but I have had endless PMs about this even though those that have ordered knew that the shipment would be coming by sea.

In fact, at one stage I was wondering if there was a practical joke running and someone organised everyone to PM me about whether the tools have arrived or not! :lol:
Cheers,
Leigh.
