A guy called me a while ago, Brian, with a 'restricted' cell phone #, so I can't call him back. He had offered to pay me to go rescue him near Weaverville , Ca. ( no ignitioin out of the coil on a 2.1 wtbxr vanagon as I understand it )

I was starting to explain to him that was a pretty expensive proposition, as it's 4 hours or so to where he is ( not where is he is 'AT' ) from where I am.......( not from where 'I am AT' )

and we'd already lost contact once. And the conversation was broken up and unclear ..............then he says '800 dollars' .......and I say ............well if we're talking about that kind of $ and you are sincere, .......then yes, I can do it. I'm certain I can fix his van, even if I have to bring another wiring harness, which I have several of , or whatever. I'd go with 2 distrubtors and 2 ECU's at least, plus a bunch of tools. That sounds high to me..........but if it's several hours driving, plus gas, plus time working on the van, plus parts.......( just laoding up with *everything* I think I might need to fix his van could take me 4 + hours ) ............... anyway........ I didnt' say '800 dollars'.............and then we lost contact.........and I can't call him back. So if anyone hears from him............at least let him know I didn't give that quote. thanks, scott www.turbovans.com Medford/Ashalnd, Southern Oregon 541 951 8151
