I have already put the word out on Amicale - in my broken French - Michel (Froggy shark above) helped out with that too... But if you can cover the Dutch group that would be good.

Mijn Frans is slecht maar mijn Nederlands is erger!

Dankwoord,

Hi Alan & Erkka -

Received the tow-eye tap yesterday and it's now on its way to Finland via DHL. Please see PM for tracking info.

Had a vision of this Bugs Bunny cartoon in my head.

OK Erkka got it yesterday (took a while)... and 3 cars already fixed and its on its way to Pevi (Pekka).

Michel - seemed that the Amicale plan to purchase your own taps has not worked out so far - do you want this in France next for the Amicale gathering in May?

Hi,

No decision made from our headquarters about a tap purschase yet, but if we can get yours for our shark tank in France, that would be great!

I send our contact adress to Pekka right now!

You're just great, guys!

Hi,

The tap is now safe and in good shape in France, unformtunately it didn't meet the gathering because of the bank days but it doesn't really matter, it will now do it's own "Tour de France"...

We manage the logistic exactly as Alan did on RL, with a list on our forum for each and everyone that would need that tap in order to trace it correctly.

Once again thanks a lot for this operation!

Cheers,

Michel

Michel,
Great - let's get as many cars as possible fixed!

I eventually was worried it wouldn't make it in time for your Amicale annual gathering - shipping between EU countries seemed to take much longer than I expected - over a week it seems, maybe thats normal?

Anyway I hope it will go faster within France. I will send you details for who it goes to next... Basically back to Bruce in Germany.

Next steps after that are the UK and Netherlands... Any more takers elsewhere in ~EU?

Hi Alan - Sharks in Hunsruk was this weekend--no value in sending it back to me. Not sure about Aryan though(?) / Bruce

Bruce OK - yes probably direct to Aryan next then.

Shipping for these seemed doable but I guess this grind slowly inter-country even now...

I will gauge interest one more time on the board here in Germany. When do you expect it can be here?

Hi Bart-Jan,
I contacted with the Dutch 928 club to see if they would like to participate. But not much happened I'm afraid. I'd be happy to post a message on the Dutch forum to see if anyone wants to participate.
For myself: I had my fun with removing the aluminum plug twice now (patience, drill and toothpick method)... one in my S4 and again in the GTS. Both frozen and corroded badly.
regards

You mean yours is fixed, Theo? Or do you still need the tap? Would be great if you could post a message on the forum. I'm no member of the Dutch 928 club...
