Hello

[Guest]

Just a quick note to say hello.


Rest assured 'Admin' and all we haven't joined up to spam.


Simply to say if ever passing pop in for a coffee if online here or FB pop by for a laugh.


We are hopefully not your average joe store, abit barmy but at our heart we believe in great service at great prices (cough within reason - we do have bill's to pay and people to keep employed!!)


Any questions just shout or message us.


Feels like a nice forum with some real characters.


Oh before I forget.....


If anyone know's where I can find a MiniArt Morgan Three Wheeler kit let me know. We have a customer who's brother is 90 this year and he's asked us for a hand to help find this kit for him to present to his brother for his birthday as it was his brothers first ever car.


Trying desperately to help him out.


Thanks in advance for any help on this the chaps a gem :-)

Not a minicraft one but as these are like hens teeth it maybe your best shot: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-1935-MORGAN-THREE-WHEELER-CAR-GAKKEN-RIKO-MODEL-KIT-1-16-SCALE-81039-/231611824949?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35ed23 fb35

I bet there is someone in the Morgan Owners Club that'd know.

Thanks for the heads up will pass on those kits - don't why I keep saying MiniArt it was a Minicraft kit 1:16 scale...


We've asked Morgan Motor company never thought about the club :-) tbh.

Hi Stu and welcome.


Just though to say this is a very nice forum indeed. I know that well left and had to come back.


John who runs the forum from his own pocket and with his great team of moderators (may have gone over the top there ops also runs the shop from here.


I hope and think I I speak for most when I say that having a rival on the forum would be most unfair in the circumstances.


This may not be the case but I thought it worth mentioning in a friendly manner.


Kind regards

Hi Laurie


Point noted wasn't aware a store owned the forum. However, owning my own forum too not within this model sector I wouldn't discourage stores from engaging there customers it for me encourages a healthy level of keeping people on there toes so to speak.


I would have an issue if every post was simply plugging away there wares and being a part of the community.


But always open to good debate on topics...

Then Stu why not join as an individual rather than in your first post advertise your business which is what it is


blantly doing. Just by the Avatar alone. I think that is a fair summary ! o_O


I only speak for myself but I considered this forum here for the use of individuals and not the promotion of


commercial activities by other members.

Ouch did not know that existed Si. Brilliant that is the place Stu.

I have to agree with Laurie on this one.

[Guest]

Because I was looking for a Morgan 3 wheeler for a customer and thought that using some forums to help source one for a customer was a good idea.


Which we found today.... I would have thought some on here would appreciate the extra effort some of us goto to help a customer.

lets not forget in your own words the forum is run by a shop for who's benefit !!


Listen I'm not here to plug if you can't accept it then fine but I've simply tried to help a friend and ironically posted today a link to a video I saw yesterday for Star Wars that has some interesting modelling elements etc.

Sorry i cannot get the link to work.

[eddiesolo]

Maybe down to number of posts you have made. I click and it works for me.

[eddiesolo]

I think if there is a issue then a Mod or even John would intervene. Glad you managed to source the Morgan.

Not my own words at all please get your facts together and straight. John started and ran this forum well before the shop came into existence.

If that was the case why so many fine words and gratuitous self given accolades about your own company. Why not do the deed under your own name ?
