Let me know when it's ready Paul and I'll see you at Willingham woods before Xmas. ;)
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

I thought better of you Paul, I really did. :roll: I'd expect it of Alan, but not you, tut tut tut.
Anyway Willy Woods is much too cold this time of year ;)

Just goes to show that the dark side of the pennines isn't as clean living as the 'right' side, here in Yorkshire.

Ha ha. Well the 550 engine is in the boot of my wife's Mini. Currently stopped off at the National Memorial Arboretum on the way back. My wife's Dads name is on the main memorial. I will certainly head for the Woods if we get a dry, salt free day Steve :)

Well it's all back together again and running. Need a dry day to take it up the road. After which I will need to fine tune. Fingers crossed the crank will hold out this time. Runs ok ish in the drive so thats a good start anyway.
