6 and a half hours and 400km for nothing.

i thought that i would forgo my saturday sleep in and get going nice and early up to classicvw to buy some parts that i have been wanting for a long time, so we swung by cruisin car carpets first to pick up a mates carpet kit then headed to classic. He was shut, closed, gone for the day.:cry If it wasn't for my mate laughing at me i think i would have cried. I was there between the stated business hours on their website and no-one was there. Oh well i guess i will call before i make that trip again, a wasted day and a lesson learnt.

Thats a bit of bad luck Lee, I feel your pain. I did the same thing the other week to look at an oval. After aranging to meet the guy left a note stating, sorry mate sold the car last night.

The prick didn't even call me that night/morning. 7hrs travelling. I was pretty pissed.

Always call ahead (or read ahead) before you travel long ways to find something and make sure it will be there.
