Re: Camshaft differences

Thanks, I should have it out tomorrow and will know the true state of it then.

Chris

Re: Potteries Branch Rally Tomorrow- Who's Going.

We two Aussies went and had a most enjoyable day, and won the Furtherest Travelled prize. I had hoped to find a nice Traveller but have found that nice ones are outside my price range so fronted up in our Ford Focus hire car. I believe there were 75 vehicles which was a record attendance with six be...
