Heh.  Me and Pete Reeve.  I ordered one, he ordered two.  Mine went
within days to Jon Travers, who's rebuilding a 1984 WR to race it.  You
should have been there, in the car park at the Plough in Hickling - or I
should have had a video camera.  Jon had tried to get one for GBP98
($156) from Aelred, but he was out of stock.  So he'd tried somewhere in
the States and they'd offered him one in three to four weeks for $108
plus shipping.

I said: "You mean one of these?  GBP16 plus a beer."

He's another Galvin - goes into 'demented pixie' mode and hops around
the car park heaping invective and curses on people he's never met.

I wish I'd had a video camera.  I've ordered another two diaphragms -
they're FUN!
