Okay, Andrew P has told me you lot are a friendly bunch, so i'm going to try and tap you up a little... biggrin

First, the back story - a chap i work with's wife passed away from cancer in December, aged 42. They have a 12yr old daughter. We are holding a quiz evening, raffle etc to try and raise money to send them to New York to see his family, and to raise their spirits in what must be a terrible time.

I have managed to get my hands (legally, i may add) on a 360 Challenge Stradale alloy wheel which has a dented rim (too much to be safe on the road, but now straightened), and a P-Zero Corsa tyre to fit it (down to the wear markers).

I've also got a nice 85cm round glass table top, and am going to create a very nice petrolheads dream coffee table, stick it on eBay, and the whole proceeds will go to the fund.

All i'm missing is the centre cap for the wheel. It looks great, kind of 80% of the way there. But the Ferrari centre cap would add that last 20% and really make it sell.

So i'm appealing to the PH collective - if you have a centre cap you might be able to part with - a spare for instance - for a very very good cause, then you would be a star in my eyes.

Please email me, or post up if you have one i can have.

I will post a link to the eBay auction too, as it looks pretty bloody good as a coffee table!

Thanks,

Tim

I don't want to get all soppy, but for me THIS is what PH is all about.

Great people.

Collecting the glass top tonight, then should be going up on eBay on sunday for a 5 day auction.

I'm going to bet that its a PHer that wins.... biggrin
