Thanks Derek,
Apparently the superdooper new engine is now booked to arrive Friday Lunchtime. You are right it has been a long wait and RPM have been very good with me. T2D are probably worth waiting for. Very nice on the phone and promised that my engine had priority after yours! It is good to know that the Cab has been in such very good company and has been protected for most of the winter. I was very happy to see the blue sparkle when looking at your work of Art. Rufus looks very happy next to your wonderful construction.
If he can have his engine in by Sunday I would fancy bringing him to Lunch. I appreciate this would be asking a bit of RPM, especially given that there are two gauges to fit (oil temp and pressure) so I dont trash this engine like the last.
I completely understand that they may not be able to accomodate ... but I can always hope.../ and they will get some floorspace back again!
Kind regards to you
Stu
