jesus brothie..nothing short of brilliant! just the job for lads like me- got to get a few of these:tumbsup:

well spotted and great pics! just wondering why she is in steam while being towed?

looks like its time for this..... Two blokes on a tandem rode into town and stopped at a pub for a cold drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which they were. When they finished their drinks, they found their "steed" had been stolen. They went back into the bar, the captain neatly flips his gun into the air, catches it above his head without even looking and fires a shot into the ceiling. "WHICH ONE OF YOU SIDEWINDERS STOLE OUR STEED?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "ALL RIGHT WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANOTHA COLD DRINK, AND IF OUR STEED AIN'T BACK OUTSIDE BY THE TIME WE FINISH, WE'RE GONNA DO WHAT WE DONE IN TEXAS! AND WE DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO DO WHAT WE DID IN TEXAS!" Some of the locals shifted restlessly. They had another cold drink, walked outside, and the tandem is back! They mount up and start to ride out of town. The bartender wanders out of the bar and asks, "Say partner, before you go... what did happen in Texas?" The captain turned back and said, "We had to walk home'' - dedicated to cyclists everywhere!!!

looking forward to getting my mine shem!

thanks fran....those bastards want to be horse-whipped! for the life of me i cant see the point of doing that to a beautiful engine:confused: to survive for over 100 years-and to be treated like this? unforgiveable!

beautiful a always anto!.....you might want to get the weedspray train to pay ballykay a visit!!!
