Wanted: car guy willing to deal with me...

Hi Guys,

since i live in germany i always have to pay tax and custom charges for my imports from US. This adds to the price of some goods 20 - 30% - thats a lot. Summit for example charges a additional "handling fee" of 25 Dollar for foreign orders.

I´m searching for a honest, reliable and trustworthy guy who´s a car nut like me and is willing to deal with me - let´s give him the name "my FABO Friend" - here´s the plan:

I need some car stuff (mostly small parts, no engines, no trans etc.) from time to time that i can get reasonable priced in US. I will order the parts and pay for them, the vendor will ship the parts to my FABO friend - and my FABO friend will send the parts directly to me. For all the shipping expenses i´ll pay in advance via paypal directly to my FABO friend - so no risk for him.

I was trying to get a contact like this through the US subsidiary of my company, but there were absolutely no car guys. They had no idea why i need parts for 40+ years old cars.....

So if anybody is willing to help a german A-body fan please pm me - would be great if i can get a contact like this over there (so i can use my money for the parts instead of paying taxes and custom charges - to me it sounds like a good plan...8)). Let me know what you think!

BTW: if it´s against the board rules then i´ll forget it immediately - please let me know.

Thanks Michael
