Yep, I think you're on to something with that. We can add that into the blurb with each pair of rock catchers - help justify the £199 price tag for the unconvinced :D

You could even have a little diagram with airflow direction shown with arrows.

Woo hoo, thanks Covkid, you've utilised my phrase 'rock catchers' which entitles me to a share of the massive potential earnings from this venture. Now can we lock this thread before anymore posters jump in and contribute, if we don't lock it, there will be too many shareholders to make it financially feasible. Ps. We need to establish who's the most suitable candidate to take this proposal to the 'Den'. We may benefit from their financial assistance which will assist with our set up costs (brochures, label printing, stamps - it all adds up).

Someone needs to speak to S. Baxter, Esq. to obtain our club discount on every pallet load that we'll be 'redirecting' from Brickwerks.

Anyway, before we get carried away, I'm going to browse eBay for that mint Atlantic that I can afford ( through the business, of course).

(In a whisper What2d) - we could produce 'special' vented versions (documented as "for hot climates or race track use only") for £350 (£250 for cash, no questions asked) and chrome-plated ones with a VW logo stamped in for £500 a pair. The bubble packs arrive tomorrow (found a back-street place that does them for a penny each and bought them on trust). Be round at 9am sharp if you want that Atlantic - we'll needs someone to man the phones. Yes, lets stick to the two of us. We don't want any complications.
