Had a visit from a fellow Count ( cousin) who brought along one of those little RC wasps - had great fun trying to fly the litle b*gg*r  :D

Genealogically he is senior in line to me ..... does that make him a "Big Count"  ::)

If he discovered The Lord and became "Born Again" -- would that make him a Recount ?  ::)

Yesterday, MV6 has had a oil change and around 30 coolant flushes, new coolant bottle to cure the coolant warning. Also gave the lawnmower a once over, ready for the summer, clean and regapped plug, cleaned air filter, and a dose of Vx semi synth. Then thought I'd better use it - so that means that will be my weekly chore until autumn :(

Also, took the MV6 for a little 'test', fuel light was on, so chucked in £10 worth of BP.  Didn't last long ::)


Today, did the aux belt, right bastard for some reason.

Then as it was a nice day, decided to strip that old tractor engine thats been sat in my garage.  Stripped right down now, right done to the block.  Never knew those crankshafts where so flipping heavy :o


Knackered now, the amount of bending over as the engine was on the floor, I guess I'll regret it tomorrow  :'(

OMG not again!

What have you done to it now?
