Howay man! 2 Landies! You must be a glutton for punishment. Welcome. There are some good folk her.

I imagine when you fire it up, you'll give them a bit of a headache.

.vvv I would question the wisdom of spending £50k on something that might not be around that long. There are echoes of AWD (remember them ?) who took on Bedford's trucks after GM's retreat. They didn't last long. After such anticipation, 15,000 reservations doesn't seem that many to me and I...

Thanks lynall, Hadn't thought of that one. That way I can continue to run the engine regularly.

Thanks j I'll look into that. If it works for you over there, then Dorset shouldn't be a problem.

That's valuable advice rob. Thanks for your help.
