Was a very good day and at times a very funny one. Only Doogie could give a 12 year old girl a brown eye and get away with it. That is NOT one of the photos. To all who came - you made it very worthwhile.

Yes - it is running - we had some timing issues. Dumb old me took several hours to realise that the timing was 180 degrees out of round. We had it running last night but is was badly out of tune and i couldn't enough advance with wedging the dizzy up against the oil filter feed pipe.

So this morning I went and attacked it with fresh eyes - Graham (graham in aus) came around to give a hand and together we sorted out a few tuning issues. I left before the test pilots drove it (we had a four hour drive to do ) But phone calls tell me a "fully sic runner"
