Just the idea that it is at the other side of the pool so I can't easily go and stop by there, makes me worrying about it (too much, I guess).
If it takes two weeks more, they have to send it to my new house, not to my old address they have now. :) #-o
Unacceptable!! I would´ve raised hell...

That would be great! But there is no address on their website, it only says:
"call us for directions - currently by appointment only"

:D Tarwey, Post all the details on here and I'm sure one of us could pose as a prospective buyer, and go and have a look round, oh and ask a few pertinent delivery questions while were at it too.

What details do you need?
The form on the website didn't work, so I ordered with an e-mail on 2 june.
Paid with paypal to prp2@btinternet.com, on the name of Jason Rix, on the same day.
All conversation were via this e-mail address.
13 june: realised I forgot to ask about delivery times, answer on the same evening:
"im hoping to ship to you by the end of next week for you."
26 june asked for the status. Reply the next day:
"hi, nearlly done, been very busy and we have had power cuts to.!!
i have made the pipes already and just assamble the silencers next."
7 july asked again for the status, but no response.
I've been trying to call them for three days now, but they never pick up the phone.
Left a message on the machine.
I have no further details, besides their website:
http://www.performanceracingparts.co.uk/contact.htm

Am I being impatient or should I be worried?
I don't know what to do next.

:D Rang the 015 number!, send them an E-mail to confirm that he has spoken to your 'English friend' and to confirm the delivery date.

I don't get it, I used the same number. :?: Maybe they don't like non-UK phonecalls or something.

Anyway, a big thanks to you Dave!! Here you go:

I'd like to add this (especially for Youngy :P) :arrow: I think a month delivery on hand-made (!) parts aren't bad at all.
If the reply on 13 june had been "we are very busy so it will take a month. At least.", it would have been fine with me!

Did you loose the zero in the number?
...when going into most countries from the outside you take away a 0 in the area code number....

Yes, I used 004415... Also heard a decent tone and after that the answering machine, with a lovely english accent. :D
