A tale of horror and despair
Gentlemen,
"This is not a joke"
Picture the scene you are at a rally with your 1918 Lister M and you find a
pulley for it to run a pump but oh dear the hole in the pulley is just a tad
to small, what do you do! I know a gentleman who recently ground down the
crankshaft, whilst at the rally, with a angle grinder to make the pulley
fit. Anybody want to by a scrap engine :-((

Martin, i heard about this the other day, it's unbelieveable that
somebody would do that to a an antique engine, let alone a fairly rare
one. It should be taken from him, he dosen't deserve it!.
I hope i never meet him i'd probably upset him with verbal abuse :-).
Cheers Gary..

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "campingstoveman"
saying something like:
