I would, for a $200 deposit, but you used the finger sex smiley. That is an implied Freudian slip that I'm about to get screwed. lol.

Adam, I just noticed the seller, so now you're pimping for Alex?

I did not think it was that great but I did not read it cover to cover.

Trochoid, How about you scan yours for all of us to read.

Hades, I would be happy to scan the book, but I don't have the software, nor do I know if it would be infringement.

I've had the book for several years now and have to admit, I have not read it cover to cover either. One won't learn any 'secrets' from the book, but it does give a good basis to start modding from.

Nice try 'Matty'. lol

I will do it if you trust me with the book.

with it being out of print I would not worry about the infringement, I still would not fully post it on the web, A nice zip that we all know about would work good.


I have the how to turn a Weber book up on my site, Just not linked from the pages.

Shucks!

I think you should be ok. As long as you dont sell the copies of the book for a profit I think that is where you come into trouble.

Hades werent you the one that had the certain book about Dell'orto tuning? He did a good job on that, so It would be nice to see him give it a whirl.

The book is pretty interesting but the info is VERY dated. I own a copy but I would not recommend it at the going price.

Sold! You suckers missed out.


Seriously though. The book is way out dated. Aside from all the cool pictures it basically only tells you to upgrade your carb and exhaust. and to buy parts from a slew of companys that no longer exist.

It contains no more practical info than you could find by reading the FAQ section for 20 min.

Nice for a collection though, as midwest stated.
