Trip to Angel-works

[stan*]

when are those inlets going to be done ben? Its been an hour, and no news yet...im getting suspicious... i might even start slating you for it in a minute....is there a band wagon due to pass anytime soon???

 

[sam_mcn]

But you have to spend time training people up or you'll never get what you want just by looking for someone already with it.

It's the best way.

 

[mini-valver]

when its finished, you asking me every week isnt going to get it done any faster.

I've got plenty of already comitted work to get on with before i waste any time on development projects.

I love you

 

[ja.jack]

If he had'nt said the inlet and exhaust would be ready in January, he would'nt be getting bugged about it now, nearly June.

 

[TheJesus]

James, jeez, how impatient, it's only 5 months... I was still waiting for some pulleys, cam timing etc etc 2 years later :rasp: pmsl

 

[sam_mcn]

If he had'nt said the inlet and exhaust would be ready in January, he would'nt be getting bugged about it now, nearly June.

Thing is though they're so busy at Angel works cos not only do they have development work to do, but they have various on going customers' projects and they also do servicing,fitting and repair. On top of all that, Ben is a meticulous beast and likes things to be perfecto before he lets them out of his sight (quite rightly so imo).
Any thing to come out of the AWT workshop is worth waiting for...

 

[Rob669]

Trong makes really terrible coffee. He's good company though while you're waiting. Oh, and he wields a mean ratchet and so when can I get my top section that got cross threaded, sometime soon pleeeeease?

Cheers, Rob669

 

[BenR]

He certainly does, but he's from HK like myself and i dont think its part of his culture.

Sadly we had our fridge nicked before we moved in so i dont have the means to keep milk from turning rapidly and i havent had time to go and buy one. Lame excuse, but its the principal really.

 

[ja.jack]

Is he time served?

 

[BenR]

He is ex mercedes and honda.

Still, i have to brush the back of his neck gently to remind him to be gentle with threads, he's quickly learning that its not acceptable at all.

 

[ja.jack]

Not meaning to be nasty Ben, but all that poofy banter between yourself, Fred, and lots of your customers, is it just a wind-up or are you all genuine arse bandits?

 

[BenR]

Why, would it affect you in any way?

 

[ja.jack]

If I was to be looking in the engine bay watching you at work I would'nt be wanting Trong to make a surprise back door delivery lol.

 

[BenR]

Its ok, our back doors are always wide open so you can see anything coming.

 

[stan*]

Jajack, do you venture south of the border much?

 

[ja.jack]

Not really, lots of good tuners in Bonnie Scotland.

 

[stan*]

I meant in general, not just for matters of an automotive basis.

what do you do for a living?

 

[ja.jack]

I'm a burnt out welder.

 

[stan*]

how old are you?

 

[ja.jack]

55 why?

 

[BenR]

well you asked if i'm an arse bandit.

 

[stan*]

im just trying to get to know you a bit better mate.

are you really 55? all the 55 year olds i know drive proper cars lol.

are you still in the fabrication trade then?

 

[ja.jack]

No, like I said I'm burnt out. Made a lot of money in my day though.

What do you mean by ''proper cars'' Cant think of a better motor than a 182 to keep a fellow young at heart.

 

[stan*]

Its not all about money though.....did you enjoy it while it lasted?

 

[ja.jack]

Jesus Christ!! I'm not dead yet.

 

[stan*]

You never know whats round the corner. thats the thing about life.....one day your happily welding a framework, or enjoying the spritley attributes of a Renault Clio, then BANG...its all gone.

Makes me think back to my youth and how I could have got more out of it.

 

[ja.jack]

That's a pathetic attempt to be witty Stan, What's your mental age? 13 lol

 

[Azoic_en_ash]

err...off topic?
anyways need to pay a visit to AWT, as soon as i have that 300 to spare!!

 

[ja.jack]

Watch your bum.

 

[Swish_aus]

LOL you poms need a minute?

Wacko.

 

[ja.jack]

I am from Scotland!! poms are English.

 

[MarkM]

I am from Scotland!! poms are English.

Jims a jock.

55 why?

You old b*****d.

So when are you going to get your engine done and whos going to do it? You seem to be getting friendly with stan. Maybe you could get him to do it for you.

 

[Sunburn]

think we lost the thread about 3 pages ago! .... hrmmm

 

[BenR]

its the norm hahahaha

 

[sh4gg3r]

Not really, lots of good tuners in Bonnie Scotland.

where? :S

I live up in Scotland and after looking for tuners, decided it was worth the wait for Ben to send me a matched inlet for my Cup, absolute quality craftsmanship on the inlets, i was well pleased

One of them, although not Renault specialists.

 

[Jesske]

I'm over 60 and also have a 182 in my collection. Keeps me young
