Just wanted to say a big thanks to Shorty. :worship: :thumbup:
As you may all know I've been finding it really difficult to find general nitro spares such as filters etc. So I posted a thread talking about DIY alternatives to these spares.
After a bit of discussion, shorty shows up and not only offers to send me some fuel line for free but also offers to pick up anything I need from his LHS if I send him the money.
Then, when he finds out I only need a few bits he gos and buys them straight away, he says he doesn't even want any money for them. I say I wanna give him the money for them.
Today, before i even had a chance to send the money, I get an envelope containing a couple of foot of fuel line, a whole load of springs for me to make a TRS plus a fuel filter!
Now, ok, those parts may not break the bank, but considering the guy had never spoken a single word to me, that is some damn generous stuff right there.

So I just wanted to a give a big thanks to Shorty. People like him make it a damn sight easier for people like me to get in to this sport/hobby when it might not have been so easy.

3 cheers for shorty LOL.

Rant over.

Shorty gets the prize :thankyou:

We get people on this site trying to tell everyone how good they are, others trying to defend their bad business practices, and all sorts of other weird poop.

Seeing an unsolicited act of kindness and generosity revives my faith in people being in this hobby for nothing more than the love of it and the sharing their passion with others.
 
You could take the $ shorty spent on helping you out and donate it to this site. In a way, you would still be paying him back. If it wasn't for this site, you probably wouldn't have ever met shorty or gotten your stuff so easily.

Just my .02

Not to take the spotlight off of Shorty, but I just wanted to also give a little praise to trashedmaxx, someone I've only spoken to about the deal I made with him, never before about anything.
Check it out here .
 
Wow, trashedmaxx sounds like a top bloke too.

Got any old engines you wanna give me shorty? :jk:
