Whip Round for Volvokid
Posts
Post 646495 by Dangerous Dave on 2013-09-23 23:44:05
Hi all,
As i am sure you have seen, Volovkid (Martyn), his wife Adrienne and his son Jack were involved in a nasty RTA.
Thread here:
http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?52710-one-of-the-worst-days-of-my-life
We have hidden this section from him so fingers crossed he can't see it :biggrin:
Some members have contacted us about having a whip round, some of the longer serving members will remember this has been done before.
It can be anything you like. So if you would like to make a donation please Contact Us and we will send you the details.
Thanks in advance for your support, we know it will be appreciated.

I've just seen some more pictures of the wreckage, 17" between the drivers seat and the far end of the footwell. :yikes:
I won't post the pics but needless to say, they were all very lucky to come away with the level of injury they did.

Right. As I'm having issues with paypal, I would like to offer up a set of refurbished blue injectors for £40, donated to the whipround.
Post 646857 by Pinup_gal on 2013-09-25 10:25:43
Martin we're keeping the donation open for at least a week mate :) I did get your message... I was just too tired to make sense of it lol

[QUOTE=Pinup_gal;646857]Martin we're keeping the donation open for at least a week mate :) I did get your message... I was just too tired to make sense of it lol[/QUOTE]
That's fine Nat but the offer still stands as I have no idea what paypal are playing at.
If I'm breaking any forum rules then by all means remove the post but this way, someone gets some bargain injectors and a few quid goes in the pot :)
Post 646867 by Pinup_gal on 2013-09-25 10:55:33
I *think* under the circumstances this can stay here, but it's not just up to me :)
If you want to you can bank transfer and we will put it in for you ?
Post 646873 by M-R-P on 2013-09-25 11:21:37
All my spare cash is tied up in my PP account (there's quite a lot of it too) lol so got nothing to transfer from my bank.
If those on high allow me to flog the injectors for a good cause, I'm happy to do it.
Post 646874 by S70T5Chris on 2013-09-25 11:33:38
I'll happily send some money over for you Martin, and just square me up at the next Softies meet or whenever?
Post 646875 by M-R-P on 2013-09-25 11:41:06
thanks Chris, I'll see if the injectors go first, if not I'll give you a shout :D

I'll take them since it's for a good cause :D
I think mine has whites in at the moment, so guess these are the next size up
edit: is that a big hand or small injectors....?
Post 646879 by M-R-P on 2013-09-25 12:00:17
big hands mate lol. they'll flow the same as whites until you increase the fuel pressure but you have the advantage of them being clean so you'll get better mpg.

Right guys, I have a set of refurbished white injectors up for grabs. All proceeds will go in the pot.
To keep this thread on topic, I'm gonna do it as a silent auction - starting at £20, PM me an offer and whoever offers the most gets them. I'll end the auction tomorrow night at midnight and announce the winner on Sunday.
Any questions or bids, please PM me.
Thanks guys, now get your hands in yer pockets ;)

The total at the moment is just a teensy bit under £900.

Excellent news! It's good to see that in the so-called antisocial internet based society we all live in these days shines in its hour of need, I could probably only put a 1/4 of the names on this thread to a face but still feel like I know everyone so well, thankfully these threads are extremely few and far better but clearly this internet society is still well in touch with one another :)

I've only been a member a short time but really impressed with the response. I was going to post something daft up here like a guy eating popcorn or something but can't do it. Hope this gift from everyone goes someway to helping put things back together for Volvokid and family! :D Glad to be part of it

I genuinely do not know what to say here, me and my dad are both in shock and we both filled up. I am no good at writing things like this I genuinely do not know what to say, I don’t think thank you can quite cover this. My dad hasn’t replied because he has no Idea what to say, the support on my other thread has been immense, and me and my dad both struggle to read it without needing tissues near by. Seriously this is just unreal!!! What would anyone reply to this? I actually feel sick. The crash itself has made Adrienne see the light about the cars we drive, unfortunately I have only told her about my thread I don’t want her seeing it due to the pictures but I have been telling her about everyone’s replies. She was gob smacked when she got flowers from Rich and Nat and then again from Derek. I’m glad she will be sitting down when I show her this, this afternoon
I am so honoured to be a part of this community thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I hope this puts paid to any talk of selling the R.:)

There is a video of me getting the cheque after my accident, at the VPCUK Xmas dinner - not a dry eye in the house.
Different circumstances, but same sense of community. Makes me proud to be a part of it.
Remember a Volvo is not just for Christmas.

Hope it helps you out, we all hit times when we need to be picked up off the floor after a fall, this sort of thing really restores my faith in humanity and I am proud to be a member of this community because of it.

Hey Martyn,
I wondered it you had gotten wind of what was going on last week when we spoke about the support and messages from VPCUK.
I now realise it was your own thread you were referring to :-).
Well done to everyone involved and a big thank you to the organisers of the appeal.
Quite remarkable!

I'll second that. I'd be gutted to see you have to sell the R mate. Especially when it's a stunning as yours. And the best colour obviously :)

Things do happen for a reason mate but what matters is who do you have by your side when it does?One must`ve done or doing something good in his life to be guided into community of a good people and you can see the result.I`ll never say I`m a good person,just talking about the rest of guys on here.There is a saying "Tell me who is your friend and I`ll tell who you are."Other forums may call us VPCchav but are they united like us is what matters.I`d like to thank Rich and Nat and anyone involved for guiding the rest of us to do something as good as this and thanx for this great forum.I must`ve done something good too to be among a good bunch:)
