I've only known Jim for a couple of months now and have called with him a couple of times. Last week I took my car down for him to have a look and on looking at the engine we realised the air filter housing was cracked. Jim got out the spanners and we found a couple of bits of metal rattling around inside, I was lucky they didnt go into the carb. On seeing this I went on a rant for a few minutes (cussed quite a bit) but Jim said just wait a wee minute. He went into his garage and came back out with a K&N filter and started to bolt it onto the carb. He said, and I quote " Sure that will keep you going til you get sorted". I then saw him looking at the radiator and he mumbled something and headed back into the garage again. He came out with a length of pipe and stuck it on the radaitor overflow pipe, muttered something bout me knowing f**k all , then give me a big cheesy grin. Thats the type of guy he is, just helps out, no questions asked!!! So needless to say I'll be glad to give a hand building the van!!
