I am guessing the photographer in him wanted a neutral-ish background, and one of those small plastic chairs/tables was nearby...

Gave a man with the reputation to rebuild ACVW engines a call, and asked him about doing Christn's engine.

"Not a problem." He said... "But we currently have a 6 month waiting list."

Now, I trust this man and this man alone, to fiddle with Christn's privates, without my supervision.
So I'm left with only one alternative... and now there is an engine stand in my garage and Christn's privates are mounted.

Things are going to get very interesting, very quickly!

Any one want to give some tips on how to remove an exhaust that was welded on?

After spending time on the unchristened Brit, I thought Ol' Betty too deserves a wash. Eish, that old girl needs a layer of paint, I see bubbling by the windows :(

Yes CITP Pmb is worth it. Not as many cars as in Pta, but then in Pta you mis out on half of the cars.

Took the KG to the service today, that is to church and back.

Strange coincedence, Considered taking the bus to the service today as well. But we were already late, and the fleetline does not come with a church key :D
