    Hangs coat back up and sits back down at the negotiation table.......:p

    So the current net worth of the company is equivalent to the value of a couple of eels?
    That means Gaz, Chris and Bristol own 2/3 of an eel each. Surely my input is worth 1/2 an eel and that would make an even 4 way split. Each owning 25%. A Cooperative if you will.

    With the length of time this is taking to get off the ground, you would be better cutting the middle out of the wheels as you suggest, but marketing them as Easter Egg holders!:lol:

    I will be starting on the first prototype tomorow although this will be the standard 4 stud option due the fact that I haven't got any metal cutting discs for my angle grinder & I'm still trying to figure out how the cut a circle approx 100mm in diameter with a 9" angle grinder using a masonary disc. Mere teething problems.

    Yes, but no ... but yes, but no.

    I put in 25, failed to get a receipt. With market conditions shifting, snow forecast and the intellectual capital going into the business, the original value shot up from 30 to 100.

    All of which means I have 1.67-worth of eel capital in the business. Now I don't like sharing eel with other people, so I'm prepared to put .67 of eel back into the trough if I can swap it for a similarly-valued carrot.

    As you currently only have one wheel, have you considered trying to break into the winter unicycle rider market!:lol:

    EDIT. What end of the eel are you offering?

    Only just seen this thread. Well done to all involved so far.

    One thought though Gaz - if you're trying to get the Edition crowd involved by putting trainers in the pics, then how about putting screws in the soles of the shoes too.

    Snow tyres and snow trainers. Cool as feck!

    I think an eel investment of 20% should be awarded for that. The back end, mind you.

    Hold on there with the eels Chris.
    When 2 eels are halved, there are 2 heads 2 tails. I don't want the end with poo on it!
    At this rate someone is going to get a eels tummy (middle bit). What section is worth the most? A poll perhaps. Are eels metric or imperial?

    All this wheeler, eeler, dealer stuff is making my head hurt.[:s]

    The back end eh? That's fine. ;)
    Look, about these eels, i've yet to see any, are they being held in trust somewhere?

    I don't doubt their existance, or anything, but times is hard...

    SHOW ME THE EELS.

    The eels are invested in the "Bank of Sargasso Sea" at the moment where they are breeding to make more eels. At a rate of increase far higher than any bank account offers on cash I might add at the moment.
    An eel is worth 50 at this time and can be cashed in by catching it and taking the tag off it. This all came about from another of Gaz's great ideas.:thumbup:

    So these are eel futures then?
    Hmmm, this is all sounding a bit troublesome.
    I've got no problem with driving on Gaz's snow tyres, but risking it all on eels? [eek]

    Oh boy, is that the tail end? :o If so i'll take my first dividend in carrots, thanks.
