Would be a marvellous addition, and a rival for the old fairground bungee jump from a crane if the bang seat was in and live....

We are hoping to have all the graphics applied that were missing last year.

Got a meeting with one of Trayboy's pals in Chatham on monday to go through everything.

I've often thought that a Green Goddess would make ideal LM transport, plus  would be able to fill a pool (now banned) in a couple of minutes, but if you want a hotel room, just put about 28 foot of caravan on the back

Didn't make LM this year, broke down in Ashford on the way down. Major engine work required.
David loaded essential gear in his estate, filled up Little Erta to the roof and made it down to save the day.

I understand that compression (or lack of) on one or more cylinders is the culprit, so a rebuild or re-engine is, I believe, the choice.

Big Irta resides in Kent with Mr Hardie, it was repaired and is fully functional, however it’s LM days are done due to its fragility and the cost of getting it there and back.

Sad times but totally understandable.
