Next year, I would like to do 40 calls over twenty weeks at an income of $26,000.00. That would be $650.00/call, and I will add an hour to the day to make it 65.00/hour.
Please count me in for next year Colin. I want you to see how dry my garage floor is.

I'd like to see your floor, myself.

I'm in for a visit too.

Was thinking about getting ambitious and finally swapping out the crunchy sounding transmission, as per Colin's urging.

I've been following hambone's Rancho dramas here and on the samba with a wary eye. Sorry he has had such an ordeal.

Don't want to highjack this thread, but does this knowledgeable board have any opinions or experiences with Wright Gearbox?

Or is Rancho still the community favorite?

Thanks,

James

Hello James,
I'd say feel free to give him a try. I would suggest that you remain within stock gear ratios. What on Earth is Montclair NJ going to be like without your otherworldly transaxle?

I believe there is a feedback thread on The Samba re: Wright.

There is, and it looks like my kind of outfit.

OK. I'm going to start a conversation with Wright Gearbox. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

The streets of Montclair are going to be a little quieter this spring!
