So if anyone wants a self propelled petrol mower that's non self propelled now, but with a good engine come and fetch it FOC or the gypos'll be taking it!!!
I know what FOC means in Lincolnshire, but what does it mean in Yorkieland? because giving something away for free must be an alien concept for you ;)
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".

Oil change on the Hippo yesterday ready for the long weekend to Wales from Thursday. Managed to clean most of what spilled on the drive.......
Lekky start works when it wants and solenoid is ok. Looks like a job for Baz when we get back as it's a pita job to remove the motor.
Yeti still running nice and smoking on all 3 now I've fitted a better grommet to the oil pump lever.
Earwig clutch has had the drybollix reset and works lovely now.
GS seems happy enough, so 4 bikes out of 4 running. That's quite novel.
