Any way on the way home I got to co pilot a Blitz for 5 days with Max. Max is now the owner of a very polished gear set.

OLD TWUKS at the Hedges.
I can understand how you can polish a set of gears, but how did you manage to polish the crankshaft?

Sounds very special to be able to turn both ways at once but not very productive in the horsepower department.

Could it have been sabotage at the factory? Perhaps it was uncomfortable with all those allied vehicles around.

Sounds like you might have to put that bit out to pasture to become suitabwy wusty.
