Frustrating!!!!!!!
« on: November 01, 2009, 03:37:07 pm »
Not sure where I saw it, but I've been looking at this for a week or 2 and decided to email about it since it said not sold. I'm a long way away, but my brother lives about 20 minutes from this car and drives right by on the way to work...................... Had visions of a visit and an excuse for a cross country road trip.  Got no answer to my email!   I wanted to build this car with a 1.9 and gave up on finding a good chassis around here for a reasonable buck. Frustrating!!

Tried the phone once over the weekend, couldn't get an answer. Have to try again tonight. (3 hour tiime difference)  Not too worried about getting off teh island, there's very regular ferry service to Vancouver. Was out there about 35 years ago (I was just a pup!) and there was 3 ferrys then, probably more now.  Might try to get my brother to do a drive by on teh way to work.........
