As you evidently know Loz, forewarned is forearmed, so having checked it out and done the research I hope you get it for a price that still makes sense. Just think of the (small) group buys you can negotiate along with Enzo..... :)

Does it still feel like it has your name on it? I hope so.

Cheers, Miles.


To be honest Miles im a little out of my comfort Zone, It'll be the biggest project (in term of expense) i' will have taken on for a trailer full of nuts and bolts , so a little daunted , If my calculations are right and i think if anything ive over estimated , the repair costs are close to what i am willing to pay for it , so we'll have to wait and see , there are a couple of good points that have come to light this afternoon which could be the icing on the cake , but we'll see

As far as farming the work out and getting a good job done for me thats the easy part , whether i can bring it all in under or on budget is the questionthats nagging me


regards loz

Peter( safrane ) had left orders with sophie to text me and invited me for an after viewing cuppa duly appreciated sophie , enjoyed feeding the rabbit, with chocy bics in the warm sun

Ah that will explain whe she [Rabbit] is no longer blinking, jumping like she's on Chrystal Meth, and asking for a drink of tea...you will have her on woodbines next!

As usual got me in sticthes , the way she woofed them i would say she has become quite partial to a chocalate digetstive or two , on the ciggy front , at £5 a packet (thanks Gordon Brown not ) i draw the line at handing them out to rabbits

Once again thank Sophie for the tea and hospitality

Just had a quick check to see if the 550 and 575 front frames differed at all , my sound must have been up , never heard the music to this the first time or has Dom added to it

Brilliant look forward to watching the progress.
I bought my 4200 because i did not have enough cash for a 550 which was what i realy wanted.
Did not think of going down this avenue.

It was added after the captions were added at the weekend Loz,
I had a hard time choosing which track...but thought this would be good for week 1,
the music will change from week to week!

Enzo

Thank's Andy,
In the process of sourcing all the parts at the moment (with assistance from Loz :)
Hope to make some good progress this coming weekend,
with a bit of luck I should have all the suspension stuff done,
Regards.

Hi Phil,
This is my first going down this route...
I hadn't considered it before either, then Loz showed me the way :)

Enzo.
