Donations for LCB upgrade
eddie99 - 18/2/11 at 04:57 PM

Hi Guys,

In case you have missed this thread:
http://locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/18/viewthread.php?tid=150673&page=2

Chris needs £350 to upgrade the system, so that needs 35 of us to put in a tenner....

I'll be one of the first


Richard Quinn - 18/2/11 at 05:02 PM

Done mine but for £20 as I've been a member for quite a while and it's a long time since I made my original contribution. Worth every penny for the help, guidance, therapy, banter and occasional insult I've had over the years.


prawnabie - 18/2/11 at 05:07 PM

Put my tenner in the pot


RichardK - 18/2/11 at 05:07 PM

I'd love to.... but I'd lose my special status Unless I could see the for sale section then I "may" make a donation

Anyway RichardQ, when was the last time somebody insulted you on here you daft knob

Take it easy

Rich


rallyingden - 18/2/11 at 05:08 PM

I'm in......

ChrisW - 18/2/11 at 05:09 PM

Thanks guys. Please don't feel obliged in any way to contribute, especially in these tough economic times. I'll never ask for donations, regardless of how long you have been a member, how many posts you've made, how many times a day you visit, etc. The site will always be free.

If you do decide to give, please only give what you think the site is worth to you. I'll never tell anyone how little or how much anyone else gives. The 'Contributor' tag applies whether you give £1 or £1m.

Cheers, Chris

wilkingj - 18/2/11 at 08:49 PM

Just sent a fiver... I'm now not working, and retired early on a reduced pension, with 7 years till I get to the State pension age to go.

Still......... its makes a change contributing money to LCB, as opposed to the contributions of my usual drivel on here

Done.


owelly - 18/2/11 at 09:30 PM

Take my last fiver and jab it up your Gary.......oh, hang on. It's not my last fiver. I've found another but your not having that as well...


gazzarose - 18/2/11 at 09:30 PM

Just done it, been lurking here for a few years with the odd question, but still havn't gathered enough £s to buy a kit, but have learnt alot from here already, so definately worth the money.

Gareth

m4maverick - 18/2/11 at 11:15 PM

Hi all,

Done lots of reading and learning from this site, haven't made many posts as there are many more knowledgeable individuals on here that can give reliable opinion.

Don't ever hesitate to put out an appeal if you need funds to support the site, the level of response you have seen is evidence to its value.

Contribution made

Many Thanks
Mike W


Dusty - 19/2/11 at 03:45 AM

Worth every penny. Thanks Chris.


Cheers,

MakeEverything - 19/2/11 at 10:21 AM

Whats the fund at now chris?

By my reckoning, its around £395?

[Edited on 19-2-11 by MakeEverything]


stevegough - 19/2/11 at 10:41 AM

If you weigh up the amount of information, help, encouragement and motivation you get on here from the LCB community, then compare it to buying a Kit car mag - there is just no contest at all.

Count me in for a tenner. - because you're worth it


mistergrumpy - 19/2/11 at 10:56 AM

Me too. Tenner sent.


bbwales - 19/2/11 at 10:59 AM

I couldn't have built the car without the help recieved from here and the bits and pieces people have made for me, so well worth a tenner in my opinion.

Regards

Bob


richardlee237 - 19/2/11 at 11:40 AM

A tenner, worth every penny

It costs a tenner for 2 small cans of beer out here and that's far less entertainment value !

Cheers Chris - keep up the good work


DavidW - 21/2/11 at 05:03 PM

Just put a tenner in.

Fantastic value for money, keep up the good work Chris.

David

Starting to wonder. He's read my U2U messages but still no reply or post on this thread!


sebastiaan - 25/2/11 at 04:06 PM

No way, for that you need to be the author of some book claiming you can build a car for. 250 quid and use it to escape to spain ;-)

You're not alone! Me too. I tried following the link in the post on the first page but it didn't work.
A Contributor now!


ChrisW - 2/3/11 at 10:00 PM

Right guys, sorry for the slow response to this. I've had my 'in laws' (well, my girlfriend wants them to be anyway, lol) here for a week so not had much time to myself.

Total raised so far is £380. Once I subtract the Paypal fees it came out at £358.

The OCZ drive is £308, and I'm going to order a new HD for the server as it only came with one and I wouldn't want to run without RAID.

Have just dumped the cash into my account so will get the parts ordered early next week.

Thanks to all that have contributed!

Cheers, Chris


scootz - 2/3/11 at 10:01 PM

v8kid - 2/3/11 at 10:07 PM
