Anybody out there, especially in the Netherlands, know the where abouts of one Dirk Leegwater. Ordered some parts and have tried getting hold of him via email, telephone, mobile and fax....but to no avail. Any insite to this elusive man......Robert (Vancouver)

Robert,

Dirk is currently in Ontario but may be hard to contact. I will be seeing him on Saturday when I return to the province. I will let him know you are looking for him.

Brian

r.morrison · #3 20-10-11, 06:12

Thanks Brian for the reply. At least I know he's still alive!!! And what might the elusive Dirk be doing in Ontario? ( Centre of the Universe) I'll send you an email on the HUW ZL with photos. You can post them on the forum....cuz I Don't know how to do it. Cheers .....Robert

Brian: Send me your personal email address and I'll send you the pictures. You can post them on the forum if you want....Robert

Brian... If Dirk has a number I can call him at... let me know. My number is 604 618-4799. Cheers...... Robert

I suspect there is a darn good chance he will be snooping around at The Legion in Acton on Saturday morning...... followed closely behind by Brian..

............at least I hope to see them there.

Bob

Hi Monique: The package arrived this morning. Thanks very much for your help in the matter.
Kind regards…..Robert Morrison (Vancouver)

Robert Morrison, you gave us nice words about the arriving of the parcel
to our e-mail address, but way not to this "fabulous" MLU forum ?

Dirk, (10.000) KM away from you !

Yes Dirk, your right! I should have paid homage to the forum, whose talent and contacts world wide, remains priceless. Where else could you find a forum/GPS system able to track the elusive Dirk Leegwater to the out reachs of rural Ontario.....right down to the legion(s) he's quaffing a few beers in with his CDN buds. Parts are here and installed. Many thanks....Robert

Bob Carriere · #10 25-10-11, 02:54

Dear Dirk was in Acton.... fit as a fiddle and looking for bargains like all of us.

Thanks to MLU we know how to track him down.

Safe trip back home Dirk.

Bob

...I don't care what you say Bob I think Dirk is a nice guy.

And a happy Barn to you.

Peter Simundson.

So Dirk: How many MLU "T shirts" did you buy from Chris Vickery? Robert

George McKenzie · #13 26-10-11, 04:47

Just a comment about buying over seas .If you ship by standard mail it will take a month and a half .IT comes by boat ,cant beleive it I though those days were over a 100 years ago .That's why we use Fedax

r.morrison · #14 26-10-11, 06:09

George: Dirk's shipment arrived within a week of the courier picking it up, plus or minus a day. What pissed me off, was the customs I had to pay on the parts $75.00. This is no reflection on Dirk and his shipping costs, but I always thought there was am exemption on vintage/antique vehicle parts coming into Canada. I'd be open to hear from other purchasers of "overseas" parts.

All parts fit perfectly and the 3 Tonner will be back on the road within a few days.

Now.....for another point, which of you guys knows how to post a picture on the MLU Forum. I need a volunteer with an email address cuz....I'm going to pull a MLU dirty On Dirk! Robert

George McKenzie · #15 26-10-11, 20:05

I think there was a directive to customs at the US boarder to not bother with anything uder $500 and go after drugs and guns instead ,I had the first thing I ever bought from Holland come to Canada and for some reason it was sent back to Holland $45 that the shipper had to pay I had friend in Holland that he took it to as they were comming to near me I reimberst him for his troubles The freight cost more than what I bought I only have paid customs three times on over 100 things .Alot of couiers charge more for brokerage then what it is worth .
