Slowwwww progress
Where has the time gone?
There was hardly a week all summer without some rain, the wettest season on record. Arrrgghhhhh. Any spare time was taken up with finishing the quarter pounder, however The Ford V8 engine is now up and running, Sounds bewdiful through short open pipes. I ditched the points and opted for an electronic ignition and matching coil, an incredible difference, starts on first push of the button and there are no wearing parts.  I could not believe my eyes when I found two complete NOS sets of the Ground Anchors in their crates - the anchors are still covered in cosmoline - unbelievable that things still turn up in such unusual places.

Holdfast
Very nice find on the ground anchors. I'm still looking for a couple of sets of pins. I'll let Wayne find a set for me (hint).

Ground spikes
Wayne,
To deal directly with Euan would be a significant departure from the normal process, whereby I swap you something, then you swap whatever you got off me with Euan.  Euan, I have 5 spare spikes at I picked up a few months ago, I'll give you a call.

Hey I resemble that remark!
Phillip, you forget that I normally swap you something that I no longer need, then later need it back so swap something with Euan for something you need.
I need to buy a train set.

Wayne, you forgot Phil has already done the trade for his radiator. Can you remind me what you traded for your radiator!
