Not quite true, I used it to put the trailer inside so I didn't have to pull it home. :beer: :beer: :beer:

Mike , I thought it was a P11 that cleared its exhaust at 23:30 , but perhaps it was a G15 . Did Rob bring his one in the van ?

Funny how , no sooner did I get home this afternoon .Ray Woolford rang to say that he already knew about the slight trouble starting from Roy at Ardingly.

It was most definitely a dodgy dark red P11 that cleared it's throat at 11.30 pm despite warnings from the landlord to be quiet leaving. Some people............... ;) ;)

that was a choice to leave last , not because it would not start . as everyone witnessed it did start (eventually). I'm experimenting with carburettor settings and can now eliminate some of the settings from the possible jets , notch positions , jet sizes

I also find it so much better doing this job after dark as no one can see what you are doing and copy you :lol:
