He has retired from the game now which is a great pity as he was pretty close for me to get parts.
Froglet if you are getting the parts in the UK and need to get them over to France go to Interparcel.co.uk they have accounts with DHL and UPS, FEDEX and are very reasonable with there shipping costs so if you are getting someone in the UK to get all of the parts you need then box them up and book interparcel on the tinterweb and they send a van up to collect the box and it is usually delivered within a few days, i use them all of the time every week.
It is a few years back but I am thinking it was the man near Staplehurst as he new a friend of mine from there.
