Right can't seem to buy an Arch roller at a decent price so Iv decided to hire one at a cost of £55. After discussing with Jimbob, who shall be helping with the rolling we are going to hire it for Sat May 29th,
We shall do it at the Hotel in Harrow, most probably Sat morning. Will confirm times later. So please put your name down below. We shall split the total cost of £55 between how ever many turn up on the day.

Please Note:

-If by some unfortunate catastrophic event we bugger up the Roller on the Saturday & cant fix it & have to pay for the cost of it, then all those attending on the day will have to split the costs between them, including myself.

-I also have the Arch Roller for the Sunday & Monday too, but be aware:
Anyone who cant make it on Saturday & wants to roll their own arches on the Sunday or Monday, if they bugger up the Arch Roller they will have to pay the costs on their own head :nono: :p Tommorow I am paying the Hire company £200 out of my own pocket as a deposit. This will have to be arranged seperatley with me

I'm going to be in the middle east on either the 30 or 31st so depending on flights I might be rolling on friday, as long as the roller has arrived by then......
I'll keep you posted and will chip in for costs even if I can't make it.

Arch rolling has been postponed for a couple of weeks till after Jim gets back from his hols. Sorry guys but I think you'd be better off with Jim helping us, unless you want me to roll you some sqaure arches!!!

I'm also available to help:thumb:

This weekend is tricky because Tina is away and I have to entertain 2 kids, but they could wash your cars with a wire brush:D

rickya 24 May 2010 10:30 AM

Thanks John :)
We'l probably wait anyway as Jim wants his arches rolled too.
I might pop over one day this week to borrow that 52mm (or even 53/54/55/56) rotary drill bit for my gauges.

No worries mate, I lose the broadband later today for about 3 weeks while I migrate to Sky (they forgot to mention that in the sales pitch), but you have my number. I'm usually in by about 6:30 in the evenings, but from 2-ish on Friday:thumb:

It's not as exciting as it sounds, but taking a small sledge hammer to your arches to fold them back, that's fun:D

P1 Daveyboy 24 May 2010 04:31 PM

Ok Jon i will bring the hammer you bring the arches :D

I have the hammer, and it still contains the battle scars from the last set of arches I rolled:thumb:

P1 Daveyboy 24 May 2010 04:48 PM
