But still a good mechanic and driver. He just doesn't manage business well and you guys seem to want to take advantage of him. Down below, John announced that he had made a series of brake rotors. So I then see people offering to pay him with a check on the 15th that will be good on the 31st. And I suspect John will take the check and hold it for you. If John was less of an idiot and more of a hard ass, he would insist on real greenbacks and on down payments before spending his time and effort.

And John does this on purpose to get new blood in the sport.

Tell that to the $450 I advanced him on brake parts last year which I have yet to see anything of. Not that I'm complaining, just I don't think it's a one way street...

Yeah well I forgot the wierd ass log on name that Skye cooked up to the "upload" thing so I haven't taken any piccies or uploaded any to the ol web site but don't worry either of you guys, 4 of the 28 hats have your name on them.

Paddy I can send stuff at any time, it's just we're trying to finger out how to get things to you cheaply, like not pay freight.
There's a Supra limited slip diff, CV joint adaptors, an intercooler, a Cossie turbo charger, turbo outlet to intercooler hoses, Turbo 3" downpipe flange, some master cylinders, some bent tin for chassi rail mounts (not all of it tho), some aluminum bar and tube for the mounts, again all with.

And one of my favcorite quootes is "Just what kind of fool are you anyway?!

Guess the foo shits, eh?

Greyhound is excellent for freight. My (wonderful) suspension made the trip from BC for $40 CAD. And it looks like an August visit might be a go, so perhaps we load up a van and make for the border, then I just send it to myself from BC?

ps. Not complaining. I have no worries about recieving my bits, but I do think I might bring John a ledger book this summer, as he is moving into his senior years now... ;-)
