I am forbidden from buying any more car parts for a while so I used major willpower to avoid buying anything from the Rimmer's flyer.
Unfortunately SWMBO was home today when a very heavy E-bay box arrived full of TR brake parts-Whoops![B)]

I got the email. Need a new waterpump but the shipping would likely kill the deal.[:(] Some of the 5spd bits would be tempting to add to my collection.

At the British Invasion weekend in Stowe, VT, a couple of years ago, Rimmers had a booth at which they took down addresses, saying they were going to set up a US operation. I left contact information but never heard from them.

We have suppliers who carry some TR-7/8 parts, but no one who really focuses on these cars as parts vendors. It would be nice if they were to look again at a US presence.

Last September at The British invasion I gave the Rimmers rep my contact info, and so far I have received numerous emails and a couple of printed items. I'll have to see what's in the mail when I arrive home on Saturday. Of course I am hoping I will need nothing once spring arrives and the car goes back on the road.[:D]

X2!! No one over here carries the range of Wedge parts that Rimmer does. Jeff, I could be mistaken but I seem to remember they were offering to bring preplaced orders to Stowe for pickup. I also remember talk of setting up a warehouse or shipping point in the US. I doubt they would do well to butt heads with Moss & others for TR6, MGB and other popular car parts. But I would think they could do a fair bussiness on Wedge parts and Rover V8. The MGB guys with V8 conversions would be a market too. I mean who would be thier competition...Victoria British?? They sure wouldn't be hard to beat!

I desparately need a pair of black door cards myself and the Rimmers' sale price can't be beat but, for once, I have managed to resist and keep my credit card in my pocket. If SWMBO saw another big box arrive that would be the end of me![:0]
I wish there was a way to have parcels arrive on her work days!

Cheers,
Rich

I'm going to put in an order but don't see any date when the sale is finished. Anyone have any idea?
