The power of the Forum
« on: 30.09. 2015 13:16 »
I joined the forum approx. 6 months ago and have posted a few topics where I needed advice and the replies were most helpful. The last topic showed me how wonderful the forum is, the kindness & effort that members go to helping others.
I needed some hard to find 66mm + 30 rings so posted 'as wanted'
following a few replies with +ve suggestions I was contacted by a New Zealand member who had spotted a set of +30's on a NZ-only auction site, following a few PM's the NZ member bid and won the items, arranged shipping etc. I then settled up with the member, all this was done on trust and goodwill.

What more can I say? .........a big *smile* thankyou Rocket Racer form down under.




mucky hands again, great!
