Vacation
« on: October 25, 2007, 01:27:26 pm »
Guys (and gals!) I'm gonna be in Miami in a few weeks  [ 8)] and wondered if anyone knew where I can buy new engine parts and slip them in the suitcase!!

Along the lines of bottom end shells, oil seals, roller rockers etc.

I have to travel about 300 miles for a decent performance shop here.

Unfortunately a crate wont fit, neither will a new hood!!

cheers

GUTTED- ABSOLUTELY GUTTED

Spent a week in Miami (after the cruise ship!) and guess what........... all the American folk have moved outta Miami and left Cuban/Mexican and Spanish sounding people!!  Even the people that ran the hotel couldn't speak English and they made poor coffee!!

Met some great folks on the ship from Ohio so maybe a trip there in a year or two  ;)

And the weather was poor!! I travelled appx 4500 miles to be greated with the same weather from London, England albeit warm rain!

there's a company over here that uses them for panels etc. I got a pair of rockers from him. fairly cheap but i'd prefer to deal direct and cut out the middle man if its a viable option~ or a company that can arrange shipping. I'd love to buy the parts from you (!) but unsure how to sort the shipping side.

Why are there no Americans in Miami!!

Sherman, last I heard doesn't sell direct.

The people I have sold parts to overseas had a shipping company that they dealt with and I shipped it to their location and the company shipped it to them.
