Now now, chaps, our Bob was just making a comment about how we all contribute to keeping our Austins going. Only this morning, whilst I was hand forging a new crankshaft using a drop hammer improvised with line shafting powered by a nearby stream, I asked the dear lady wife when she had washed up after breakfast and fed the livestock, to use her much admired domestic skills and vacuum the interior carpets. Sadly, she mistook the carpet shampoo for some acetone on the workshop shelf, but she says she will knit a gearbox cover for the winter as a partial replacement.
