Eds had to go to Cambridge for an interview, so we wont know anything till he gets back tomorrow, thats if they have left a msg.

I may be in Cambridge but i still have internet
Just not at home to receive the phone calls
Will ring tomorrow afternoon if i get home in time as i need to collect my new discs that have been turned down.

come on Ed, have you built me one yet?

[ed4ran]

sure i just need a big deposit from you

[Retro_10s]

A large deposit?.. sorry Ed, i think you got on the wrong bus

[ed4ran]

Nah, £50000000000000000000000000000000000 should just about cover the deposit

[smudger]

any prices yet?

[ed4ran]

Not really until i get the quote to produce the crank ends and add up all the material costs etc
As i said before the AIM is to be about £500, but that could go either way depending on alot of things,
But ill definitely have a better idea once i have built the first one.

[smudger]

Ding Dong!

Will you be at MITP for a chat?

[ed4ran]

Yeah, will be on the 16vMiniClub stand, unless anything comes up in the mean time (currently applying for jobs)

[Retro_10s]

Nah, £50000000000000000000000000000000000 should just about cover the deposit

lol you'll be insisting on using western union or escrow next

[ed4ran]

possibly

SCAM!!

[ed4ran]

Today is just a bad day for me

First i find out i didnt get the job in cambridge,
and now i get a quote for the crank end

£400 for the 1 (i could have it in about 4 to 6 weeks), Plus the bolts that will need to be made
Thats a big chunk, and seriously affects the overall cost, he said id have to have a few made for the price to come down (2 or 3 wouldnt really change anything).

Hmm i may try cleaning and selling my carbs and that may cover most of the initial cost of the end

(anyone interested in some Twin Dellorto 45M Turbo Carbs from a Lotus Esprit? including plenum and inlet manifold!)

could you sell your brother ?
