I've looked and TB's fitted (second hand or not) would go well up to £1500

I've looked into carbs and yes they are great for a little while until they need setting up again or it's a cold day.
My Dad was actually right. Bad idea.

Or alternatively, you can do a better film of that guy having a wank at his desk. Then black mail him - saying you'll show it to his friends and family if he doesn't cough up £1000
then you have £2000 to get some proper TB's.

And he'll still have well over £900 left

Jade or Colin, not sure after Ian tellin Jade off for the XXX's I never even considered NOS...I could pick up a kit from the bay for £300 right?
That is an ace idea. Although once my bottle is empty I won't be able to afford to fill it, but it's a good talking piece at shows I suppose
