Being hatched in '74 my schooling was in metric but my dad being an steeplejack, working on all the old school stuff, cranes in what was at the time a dying working docklands he taught me "proper" measurements and tooling, even now he teaches his apprentices, all with university degrees th...

Hmmmm elite............if you want to just waste your money I suggest putting all your cash on the bbq and watch it burn, it will last longer than one of their "recon" engines!!

Love reading your threads, shows me just how it should be looking not how mine is!!
