Re: PLEASE HELP: SCOUTS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Aussies hardly ever use PayPal.. PayPal in my opinion aint for aussies. Maybe find a bank account where we can deposit money<br /><br />I'd Be glad to donate a few bucks here and there when paying my bills through online bpay<br /><br />Look theres a nice bloke called craig at taren point road in taren point.. He use to race formula 1 boats.. Ask him and he will show you his boat in his storage garage.. Anyway is ee heaps of motors hanging on his stands with NEPTUNE MARINE RACING AND OUTBOARD SERVICE on them.. Maybe he could sell you one of his tohatsus hanging there unused for a small price in return for some advertisement.. He is a good bloke he sold us a 115hp Re-sealed Leg for a merc thunderbotl for roughly $400 AUD installed or $200 American <br /><br />Talk to him

Re: PLEASE HELP: SCOUTS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Hey Lakeman 1999 I'm with you . This scoutman gives all his personal details...so what..who checks it out and even it is all bona fide so what, it means nothing. It doesn,t mean the money is going to get to where it should. If you guys want to give money it should be to a trust registerd by the scout association, not to an individual. Australia has is very scout and outdoor activity oriented and it seems strange he can't get his sponsorship dealt to there. To me charity begins at home and I am sure there are very worthwhile organisations within your own hometown that would appreciate a few bucks.

Hey jarob,<br /><br />Appreciate your concern. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but remember that no one is twisting your arm or standing over you with a gun!<br /><br />All I can say is that the appeal is genuine, and totally voluntary.<br /><br />There are some folk out there on this forum that I would be proud to associate with, because of their values and beliefs.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />David (Scouts)<br />Vice President 1st Carlingford Scouts<br /><br />PayPal email david_golding@optusnet.com.au

Re: PLEASE HELP: SCOUTS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

To those that have doubts or are critical of "Scouts", please be aware of how this got started. Scouts was originally looking for someone to donate a motor. <br />The Paypal affair was MY idea . . . . not Scouts. Scouts did not just pop up with a story asking for money.

Re: PLEASE HELP: SCOUTS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Greetings all, and thanks to everyone for their support.<br /><br />A special thanks to John Reynolds for setting the record straight, and to James Kelly for his 2nd donation.<br /><br />Here's where we stand to date (gees I hope I haven't forgotten anyone!)...<br /><br />Rick Brown - US$5.00 (Paypal)<br />Rodney Dassow - US$10.00 (Paypal)<br />James Kelly - US$10.00 (Paypal)<br />John Reynolds - US$10.00 (Paypal)<br />Link Jackman - US$10.00 (money order)<br />Thomas Schwahn - US$25.00 (Paypal)<br />Doug Sample (Canada) - C$10.00 (Paypal)<br />Nathan Yerger - US$10.00 (Paypal)<br />Richard (rwise) - US$20.00 (assume US, via post)<br />James Kelly - US$25.00 (Paypal - 2nd donation)<br />David Golding (Scouts) - AUS$200<br /><br />What else can I say but THANKS on behalf of everyone in our Scout group.<br /><br />Secondly, I know that some of you are trying to source a 20HP motor from your contacts.<br /><br />If you find one, and with the forum's permission, I propose to use the funds collected to cover the cost of freight.<br /><br />I have no idea however what freight + duty etc to Australia would cost. Does anyone have a good handle on freight from the USA to Australia?<br /><br />Stay tuned for updates. I look forward to hearing from you in due course.<br /><br />Best regards to all,<br /><br />David (Scouts)<br />Vice President 1st Carlingford Scouts<br /><br />PayPal email david_golding@optusnet.com.au

Re: PLEASE HELP: SCOUTS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

I don't know the bloke personally at all i just had a long chat with him after he tinkered with my boat and he told me all his racing stories etc.. I just noticed all the tohatsus everywhere with the racing logos on them?<br /><br />Some Wrenches in Australia are assholes, Though some are not.. Luckily the boys at Neptune arent ;) <br /><br />Have you been down there? Tell me how it goes

Re: PLEASE HELP: SCOUTS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Bump just means that the topic is being "bumped" to the top of the list. Unlike many other forums, this one puts the latest addition at the top of the forum as people add on. You have to type in something or it won't take, and bump works for that.
