For anything not directly related to Dolomites. Come in and relax!

I was feeling organised today, so

#1 Post by David6214 »

I listed every sinlgle spare part that I have. I have less than I thought I did. Still took most of the day though, now all I need to do is work out the ones I don't need and start listing them all.....got a few rare bits though, well I think they are rare and some weird ones. It might be time for a couple of those whats this from picture posts like Mr Xvivalve

I badly need to do same. If memory serves I'm up to 9 folding crates full, 95% NOS. About 4 crates are 1850 specific so will be disposed of.

Need to list the stuff I'm keeping too.

Trust me, even with a list you will still go out and buy that seal kit that you already have four of!

Or worse still your master cylinder will fail when you are visiting friends on the other side of the country and you HAVE to buy the part your list then reminds you already have one at home!!

If I'm visiting friends on the other side of the country, I won't be taking the dolomite...probably a hire car!

If I had the list right, at least it will give me a chance of responding when someone says I need one of x.....Mind you I reckon yours would take just a touch longer Mr xvivalve!

Anyway I need the space and cash for my sprint project....

get yourself an able bodied assistant, move it into the kitchen box by box and get your assistant to write it up while you call it out.

helps if you suggest you will get rid of some of it though.....

Seriously, if you wanted to do an audit, I'll give you a hand..I might learn something!
