Ah yes! Wikipedia, the foremost authority and greatest collective of undeniable facts on this planet

A place where even their own google listing identifies:
"www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit."

Surely this cannot be right?

I had to find out for myself, so in order to know for sure, I logged on and guess what!. They are right, anyone CAN change the information.
While there I made a couple of 'additions' for the greater good of mankind. Why not see if you can locate them.....BOTH!
Start by checking the updated definition of Limber The 20th Century part.
Now remember, Wikipedia = FACT!

Oh, and bob, you do realise the rifle you added to your post is actually pointing to your name don't you.

You sure do know about my resto., I see you checking progress enough.

Oddly enough, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to change the dictionary definition. Hmmmm!

Default Your Blitz Restoration

Hi Tony - I follow your restoration threads on a daily basis but unfortunately due to our previous differences I chose to withdraw my help with parts. A lot of what you have obtained from other sources, including overseas, I had the originals at my disposal ready to move on. Anyway that is all history.

I have no problem with the rifle pointing at me as I am often the target of my trying to be as correct as possible.

Anyway I will continue to follow your thread because at least your posts have been and will continue to be a great guide to other restorers.

Try this Bob
