While you’re waiting for your Matadors……..
I thought I would share with you how I coped waiting for my Matadors. It’s a loooong story with a lot to learn. I started this thread back in June 2011 while still waiting, – and oddly enough it became one of the most viewed threads on this forum.
This is how it started:
As it happens, I am the lucky owner of a serious harem of nice guns. And I frequently visit my summerplace on the coast down south in Norway, where weather is the only restriction to my shooting….
Summernights are nice and light with sunset around 22hrs….:
So yesterday I quit Oslo for a few weeks. Fed up with my loooongish waiting for ED and friends to deliver I took 11 members of my harem with me.
Here they are:
As some of you may know, I test and review guns for our Norwegian forum, and this time a comparison of springers is on the agenda….
So go ahead and name them, from left to right…….
And yes. There will be a more in depth test of Lelya 090 who has got new glasses for the occasion…….. 😉
Life is too short to sit put and wait……… 😀

They seem all to do….
And she is keeping her legs crossed…. for you 😯

how long can custom’s clearance take?
You have very wise friends Koljo………… 😉
The guns are not here yet, – albeit in Norway. I still remember when I bought the first Daystate AirRanger 80 ft/lbs to be delivered in Norway. It was stolen off the delivery truck on it’s way to the final destination. My kind of luck in a “nutshell”………… 😥
I keep my fingers crossed…………….. 😀

A businessman friend of mine told me once that he is never joyous when he negotiates a good deal. He is never joyous when he signs the contract. He is even less joyous when the money is cleared in his bank account. He only allows himself some joy when he is able to draw the money and put them safely in his pocket 😉 But even at that point he knows that something might still go wrong…. like meeting the wrong woman who pretends to be unaware of his good fortune.
Your True Friend,
Cool-jo 😆

I think I must have missed something here…….

“Holy Dog Shit. Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas!”
Zoco, you are definitely not from Texas, so no need to worry about it 😉
Not sure, though, if it isn’t better to be a Texan and get your EDguns quicker 😛

I think I must have missed something here…….

Now, – thats’s a good question !!! If I only had known what documents ED and friends have included in the parcel, I might have been able to answer. If customs find proper proforma invoices in the parcel, it wouldn’t normally take more than a few days. As said earlier, ED has been instructed to include such documents with the parcel with a copy to me up front. If I had received such a document, I could have “predeclared” the goods……….
Unfortunately that never happened the way I wanted………… 😉
So for now, – just wait and hope for the best……….. 😀
