It's unbelieveble but true,at 9'o clock this morning it all went downhill.

Received an e-mail from HCP(germany),wich said "the item you've ordered is no longer availeble"

I called them and said:"ok,but there's a small problem,i've allready paid it"
I will get a refund,if they can't provide me with something else.
btw it's not the quality(very good)but the management(when he asks a question,they don't receive an answer

Why is it so hard to get the "old bus" lowered

He will call back today,i'll wait and see what happens.

So here's the update on the coilover saga
As promised the guys from HCP(germany)called me back late in the afternoon.
It seems they've been hard at work all day to find a replacement.
But since they don't stock/do KW and GAZ the choices reduce dramaticly for the volvo.Still they came up with a nice solution,it's still going to be FK(they've found another set at someone else's shop)but another set called Highsport(a wee bit cheaper at 799 euros,they will refund the 41 euros)
Should be here at the end of next week.
I'm a happy lad(fingers crossed that all goes well)

gr,walter
