Default carriers

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the reply to my questions, I normaly go out west for about 1400 Ks to pick up my bits and pieces, its mostly flat driving, but there are a couple of really steep hills, I drop down into 4 wheel drive and use second gear,its slow but there is an even chance that I will get down in one piece, I guess the old saying that you dont have to be stupid,but it helps fits me to a glove, but it sure beats the s..t out of staring at the tv watching the days go by,
thanks for sharing your news, Regards Ron

Default Well done

A good save Euan,

I (and a good many others) have known of those two carriers for many years, Ian was always after a guiberson radial as a trade for them but there arent many guibersons around.

He used to have two ex Centurion engines in the crates for sale once...

I had some pics of them taken about 1996 if you are interested but it will take a while to find them.

Cheers and good luck with the restoration

Phill

Default cent engines

Thanks Phill,
The boxed cent engines (ex Tim Vibert) are still in the Ian's shed. All I need is a Cent now

Default Big fun

Yes well I must admit I do miss my cent at times - Big fun Big money to run and Big maintenance and repair bills. It went to a very good home at Mat's though.

Cheers

Phill
