I have spent the day in our beaten up old RK bombing around Speyside, the car whines, knocks and smells of leather, oil and petrol. It made me smile from ear to ear, it is absolutely the best fun.
I had hoped to post some pictures but the MyBB update is currently preventing that - I understand the Webmaster is on it however.
A very happy Ruairidh, having had a lovely sunny Highland Autumn day
Me too as well also !
Day two of the Meccano Exhibition went well as did my original 1928 'Chummy' - the petrol engine singing lustily on the way there !!
Lots of interest in the car again - at ninety years old and still running - see if these electric wonders last for ninety years.
What is the big deal about weight reduction - a standard Chummy weighs 8 cwt in real money- what does a Tesla weigh ?
Cheers, Tony.
