and Keith came all the way to Germany just to deliver them personally!
Seriously - he was on vacation in Germany, so he brought the bearings along, we met in Rüdesheim and we had a nice little chat.

Again - thanks a lot Keith!

Now that's the sign of a supportive forum!!

20 yrs ago I set up a similar transfer of old car parts (28 Chevy) for a friend of mine in OZ via my brother traveling down under.
At the time, the logistics of payment to US parts suppliers as well as cost of shipping was a big issue. Sadly, my friend (in Canberra) passed away just two weeks ago... RIP Mate....

Knowing Keith, there was no shipping or handling and he bought you a beer. And the bearings were free.

Pretty much spot on! Although I settled for a Coke
Seriously, I am humbeled by so much kindness

Sometimes weird things come together. Just before out first trip to the USA in 1989, we received an order for some fleece wool from the States, two days before we left. I packed it, intending to post it when we landed in the US.
We were to stay with Ben and Clara-Jo Ostergren in Northridge for a few days. When Ben saw the address he said we could deliver it just a few blocks away. Imagine the surprise when the delivery was made, in person, by the Australian consignor!

You’re very welcome, Frank. It was one of those win -
Win situations. I was happy to meet with Frank and personally deliver the parts to him and in the process make a new Model T friend, all the way to Germany!

Cheers,
Keith

Keith makes a wonderful delivery guy. At the National T Rally in Maryborough, Queensland in 2019 he delivered three pairs of bib overalls to me that I had bought on Ebay and had sent to him by the various vendors. After 5 years I need some new ones! It is one of the great things about the T fraternity that we can help each other.
