Subject:guy broken down in N. California - if anyone hears from this person ............

A guy called me a while ago, Brian,  with a 'restricted' cell phone #, so I can't call him back.
He had offered to pay me to go rescue him near Weaverville , Ca.
( no ignitioin out of the coil on a 2.1 wtbxr vanagon as I understand it ) 

I was starting to explain to him that was a pretty expensive proposition, as it's 4 hours or so to where he is ( not where is he is 'AT'  ) from where I am.......( not from where 'I am AT' ) 

and we'd already lost contact once.  And the conversation was broken up  and unclear ..............then he says '800 dollars' .......and I say ............well if we're talking about that kind of $  and you are sincere, .......then yes, I can do it.  
I'm certain I can fix his van, even if I have to bring another wiring harness, which I have several of , or whatever.  I'd go with 2 distrubtors and 2 ECU's at least, plus a bunch of tools.                That sounds high to me..........but if it's several hours driving, plus gas, plus time working on the van, plus parts.......( just laoding up with *everything* I think I might need to fix his van could take me 4 + hours ) ...............
anyway........
I didnt' say '800 dollars'.............and then we lost contact.........and I can't call him back.  So  if anyone hears from him............at least let him know I didn't give that quote.
thanks,
scott
