On 18th August I went to the kit car event at the Ace Cafe, London. There was a sevenesque driver there who was very worried because he had lost the
round cap off one of his side-draught Webers. I drove back to my garage ( a round trip of about 20 miles ) and took a cap off one of my set which I
gave to him on his promise that he would return it.
If he sees this, could he please let me have it back, otherwise I will not be so stupid in future and any kit car driver in trouble will have to find
another mug.
Bad form - I hope you get it back.
Did you not take his name and contact number ? Are there any pictures of the meeting maybe you could track him down by his reg number ?
Does wee you off a bit doesn't it!
Maybe he's just genuinely forgot with a bit of luck, let's hope so.
Hope you get it back chap.
Hopefully he will post it to me, as i need one as well !
Following an appeal for the loan of a handbrake rubber grip, I took the one off my car and posted it to RichyMkIndy at my cost, with the promise
he'd return it after his SVA retest two weeks later. I'm still waiting..... 6 years later. I've also posted several taps and dies to
folks and never seen them again. I'll learn one day!

send him a u2u, as you now get email notifications of u2u's 
assuming he's got the same email address that is
edit: thats only for people who lent something to someone on here and not heard since

Not right and it's no comfort, I know, but an engineer friend when I was a kid said "The bloke who lends his tools is out buying some
more."
Everyone forgets things - I've forgotten who I lent a guitar amp & mixer to, for instance - but the decent thing would be to go back to the
place they found the item that they borrowed (e.g. this forum in the OP's case) and offer the item back to the owner. Even if they were no
longer a member...

After 'losing' one or two things I now have a debtors board so i at least know who i've lent what. After creating it - i've never
actually lent anything!
(which is more cause I'm never in the garage than because I'm getting tight).
I did try to give away a bellhousing recently and rather generously got some cash for it. Their are some good people about still.
To be honest i'm sure I still owe someone a couple of quid except I can't for the life of me remember who it is. I got a lambda bung off
them and didn't have any change. They didn't either so we agreed i'd pop round with the change at some point. I can't remember
where they live before someone pipes up. If you read this ..... let me know (and describe your car / house / area you live in before some wag claims
"its me"
.

I'll prod David. I'm sure its just been forgotten. He's a rather busy bloke who ends up going round the world with work.

Not the sort of thing you forget, I would have thought.
