studbuckle Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 In case anybody didn't know, we're off to the states in a few weeks. On Tuesday 23rd August I have to be in Barking at 10am to load the car in the container. I could do with a friendly sole who'll put me up for the night and somewhere very secure for the car as it'll have spares and video equipment on board somewhere closeish to London with easy access to Barking at that time, on The Monday night, the 22nd.

studbuckle Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Cheers Ian but I need to be closer than that for my own sanity. At least it was a sensible answer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oioi Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 have you tried cam7 (for the hot air and the bed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studbuckle Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 have you tried cam7 (for the hot air and the bed) yes thanks.... initial offers dried up when we changed the date for the 3 rd time! i've got a provisional offer from an old Uni mate but he's the other side of the river and suggested leaving his at 7am to get to barking for 10!
