something odd has happened to my most recent post?
Still, that aside, the the key message remains the same.
Let's not go down the mud slinging route again chaps (that SEEMS to be the spirit of the original post)
Keep calm, and carry on

I deleted the above post Al because it said it was from you.
What I was saying is that you can't always say what you like but you can always think what you like. I use that one often.

ah, I did wonder!
No problems with claiming authorship of the post though, (being the voice of reason)

It's ok, it doesn't worry me what UHR says. I've seen the previous thread about the Downton badge, I think he gets it wrong now and again, he's talking double dutch. I'm away for a few days, when I get back I will post the original documents for the car and some of the history.
I've got a dvd of the internals of the engine and the gear box, if any one can get it on this site I will welcomely send it to them.
Many thanks

Thank you Mark, you took the words right out of my mouth, that was cracking.
I hope people don't think I'm being very sheepish!
Thank you very much
