Cheers lads , thanks for the kind words and iam keeping positive.
bassboy I've not seen ian in 4 years since having my son , we speak and ian is a good friend , I said I was going to see him this year but with things happening as they did I've not had time but I will Defo go and see him. I never really built manifolds for ian I did them for people on here , I did do all his pectel t2 looms thou but then ian stopped area six and the t2 is no longer available so I don't do them anymore. I don't really build manifolds anymore either as I wanted to get my own car started and I was busy building other people's and got pissed off so I stopped advertising etc.
Please say hello to ian from me and you can tell him what's gone on if you like and tell him I will be in touch soon.
i will still do one off if you want anything like manifolds etc so let me know if your interested
cheers paul
