Well, in preperation for hopefully getting a Tuscan soon I thought I had best get some engine building practice in. It only tool about an hour to get it built and running.

I should keep it in the boot - you never know when it might come in handy & should be better than bumping her home on the starter hehe!

Built my first engine when I was 10. Lego technics i seem to remember wink. That was in the days when it took days to make a really great Lego project. These days take 5 mins and 6 blocks...

I see that's one of HRH Charles's engines that runs on that cheap fluid, Chateau Neauf d'u Pape!, Build yourself a proper engine man, add two cylinders and straighten it up, THEN, you'll have a proper engine.
