    No, oils is fine for us old fossils.

    y'just take some of the dinsosaur fat left over from last night's dinner, mix it with a bit of mastodon blood, and some of that red dirt from around the mouth of the cave.And happy painting.

    Congratulations! I look forward to seeing it in all of its purpleness.

    Sounds a bit like my grandfather's axe, though...

    Yes - many thanks to Jim2 for the lift in. It just dropped in bang on - I'm deeply suspicious... Not sure it's going to sound quite so nice on the idle as Hitchers new steed...

    grrr... pictures.. damn it.

    At this rate I'm just gonna have to go over Paekak to see the jolly thing for myself.

    Well done Paul. Can't wait to see it.

    Oh so CLOSE I can smell it...

    Oil is in, all the major parts are fitted. Just the ignition to hook up and the fuel lines to install and.... Shes BACK after 6 years.

    Even if I do say so - this thing is looking the bloody business...... I'm well pleased.

    Next post will be a running in post and hopefully - pictures of the sexy beast.
