What a satisfying New Year's Eve. Today I was at our local Tractor Supply Store. Next door is a high performance engine shop, complete with dyno. They specialize in our least favorite engines. While I was in the store they were warming up an engine with open headers. When I got to my car, they were starting a dyno pull. RPM got higher, higher, higher, then BANG!! and silence. I chuckled to myself as I pulled out of the parking lot. Happy New Year to all!

Hey,I just realised that this is in the "Classifieds" section. John are you selling scrub shrapnel as paper weights ?  Cant think of a better use for that junk. Oldmics

Oldmics: Yeah, I just realized it is in the wrong section. I intended for it to be in This-n-That. Must be Oldtimers. I don't know how to move it, maybe Ted can help. He's moved posts before.

Great story, John. A fitting end to one of the most over-rated engines in history. Thanks for sharing it with us. Happy New Year, Nick Brann - K.C., MO

Hey Bill, Thanks for the "blood donation" story. That's a good one. I too am grateful for this site, and the contributors. I've learned a lot and it helped me when I was building my 312. You guys down under are really fun to read about. Hope I get to meet you one of these days. Happy New Year, Nick Brann - K.C., MO

Nick, Thanks for the kind words, i feel the same way with you guys!, we sent our ambassadore over a few years back (LON) just to see if it was safe, all seems ok.?? although we are wary of those north of the border! Would like to get back to US to meet a few of the guys, but this will do till then. Best regards to all!.
