Hi all,

Thanks Patrick,

thankyou

Cheers, Will

I didnt have my camera on me today but under all the dust i have found the original logo on the fuel tank in good nick the engine has got good paint coverage so i might just leave it in its working clothes.
what do you guys think?
Pops will need a coat of paint on it but ill get it running first and show him it.

Cheers, Will

Pictures as promised.
My Ronnies!

Gday Will. To date Buzzacott/ Rosebery engines give Don Reid a ring on 07 32005382. He advertises in the back pages of the TOMM as Vintage Engine Spares. Just love all that parramatta rope holding everything down. Looks like a scene from Gulliver's Travels..........Phil

mate i reken i could of sailed home quicker. 80km all the way home 6 hours it took. good times though. that rope was dodgy anyway wouldnt belive theres 35 odd meters of rope holding it all down

Cheers, Will

I thought you had big spiders over there or down under

[WilliamInOz]

Cheers, Will
