[SEL] FW: Austral Oil Engine Register

[Russell Gilbert]

So Patrick are you comming over to pick it up and do the photo type 
thing. It's great news for engine collectors as Peter is aging a 
little and the register has to take a back seat for him. This keeps 
the info fresh and in the forefront of Austral & Australian engine 
collecting. Would be good to make/do an official hand over. Good 
story for the tomm and I'm sure Pete wouldn't mind. Plus I could load 
my akroyd barrel into the back of your ute to take back to Pauls for 
me :-) hehehehe
regards Russell
