I`m confused now.Was the engine in the back of the van or in the engine compartment? :confused: Regards Charlie :laughing: :laughing:

Was that fire engine designed and installed before or after the great fire?

Had a brief chat with Mr. Terry Weeks on friday outside of Ranks whilst waiting to tip. He gets a print off of the weeks activities on here so he can keep up to speed, he likes to see his name in print and getting a mention!

As planned, a few hours catching up with “The Elk” was had today. Most enjoyable. He is as able with PC’s as TIR Tone is with keeping his going so does not partake BUT I might have convinced him to have a peek. He has also refrained from attending the August bash due to nefarious reasons that I have pointed out to him that are totally unfounded and he promises to be present this year.

Hey Jim i think you made it look better than the original motor well done you certainley got the X factor when it comes to models

Yet another great acolade to your portfolio Jim. One thing though, you forgot to add the ‘space Cab’ conversion kit to it. The roof on the model will probably be more robust though!
