URGENT Help needed now!!!! pretty please!

Which eventually bore no resemblance to reality as everyone was worried about have their vans stolen.
In fact I notice @MorkC68 is now living in Juarez, Mexico
Just using Mark as an example

 

i think he sleeps better under a sombrero

 

At least I was honest, I pinned mine in the town we lived in ................. even if the actual pin was actually at the local police inspectors house
It's hard to hide a van in a town with only 6 streets anyway

 

Important point @Terrordales & I'd be up for keeping it simple & just putting a number in the phone for real emergencies when someone couldn't get to the Net. Most of us have recovery, can do a bit of emergency spannering & can be reasonably responsible when the occasion calls so it would be for big issues. Just a suggestion.

 

Yep...I can see the reluctance in that respect. Maybe no reason to make it any more formal than The Virtual Grapevine...seems to work pretty well...?
On a slightly different tack...would this forum (in terms of its collective membership) have any clout when it comes to group discount for breakdown recovery?

 

I'm guilty of that too, I'm afraid. I pointed the pin for my location to Katwijk aan Zee in the Netherlands, home of "the average Dave Gorman" according to statistics. (well, @poptop2 did say I was a geek )

 

You wouldn't need to use your address, a map with a marker in your local town centre would be good, then you could see how many other TLB members are in your town.

 

I've seen a few vans around but don't know anyone in my town

I have a friend in St Albans (next town) who has a split

 

Whilst I agree with you, it would not appear to be a very popular sentiment.

 

You what Fritt means in scandinavia? Free! Pretty cool

 

Perhaps it could be an option - users could have it on or off?

@hailfrank or @HorTs

 

Easiest way I can think is plan you journey. Then put a thread up naming all the places you'll be passing through or near. and then members that would be willing to help in an emergency can PM their phone numbers and location to you before you set out.

 

Sometimes it would be nice to see who lives nearby and see if they want to have a meet up one Sunday afternoon or something.

 

That info is already on your profile.

 

It is but I'd need to search every profile when if there was a section I could just see who lives nearby

 

What you on about barney. ...I'm lost can someone explain what I've missed

 

Ive offer

dont worry em i just got a name wrong , i promised not ta say anything , luv nar......
