Default 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.
