but pricey

fingers crossed I'm getting the van back tonight

amusingly it's gone from wild to mild, now sporting a 1641 with progressive carb, but providing it works that's all cool with me!

think he sick of the sight of my van :wink:

he had the engine lying around from earlier attempts to fit me up, but previously he was using big pistons and barrels which didn't fit the engine, so it's 1641 with progressive, not 1679 with twins

all should be good, and it means I don't have to camp in a tent or hitch a ride this weekend 8)
