Received Nigels Carrier Vol 3 this week via Lynn Eades our local distributor. I agree with Horsa , if you don't complete the set you'll be kicking yourself. A fantastic series with loads of information and historical photo's and records. I look forward to the website opening up in the near future. Well done Nigel.

Default Site update

I think the problem with ordering from the US has been fixed. Can someone order again who was having problems please! (Now that's a cheap way of getting a book order!).

Thanks for the reviews guys. Now apart from some other information I will put up on the website, when I manage to overcome some teething problems with that, hence the delay, you all now have all the information that I have. I hope you enjoy picking up the volumes and reading something you haven't read before. That's what I do, and I wrote it!!

Nigel

The only thing wrong is that you and your carrier should have been in there, especially with what you've achieved, from where you started.
Then I think about a few others that should have been in there...... Nigel, would you like to put a Vol.IV. together?

Forget about the Yanks Nigel. What about those of us who live in Poole?

Poole? Is that in England?!! Just kidding!
Ron send me the details of the problem and I'll see if its something my end or the servers.

Someone else had the problem of the index panel not showing and someone else said that solution maybe to ensure that the page is reloading completely and not partly using whats already stored on your computer. Whilst holding down ctrl key press F5 key and I am told that ensures the page loads completely from scratch.

I'm sending you a Paypal invoice.

No volume 4 I'm afraid Lynn, but hope to have others on the web page.

Maybe Nigels website could have a page dedicated just for the restorations out there. The same as at the end of Vol 3, what they looked like as found with some background history, pictures of the rebuild and what they look like today. I know MLU covers restorations but sometimes you have to trawl through the Carrier forum (which is fascinating in itself) to find that particular picture of that stage of your resto for comparison. Just a thought. I missed the dead line for Nigels book due to computer breakdowns = teenagers.

I was sorry not to have been able to include yours David in Vol3 as I had heard much about it. The web site will include a chapter the same as volume 3 has. In fact the website will have all the chapters from all the volumes, that is the plan anyway, as well as a special drawing archive and carrier register. Hopefully.

Nigel
