     What is everyone going to fire up to celebrate the New Year?

   Hi Patrick,
           Well, the first thing we will "fire up" will be the old Weber
   Braai (that's BBQ to the unenlightened :-))
           Then we'll probably crack a good few ales or similar.
           Then, before the "ales" take their toll we'll look at an engine
   or two.
           I think that, in honour of all our Aussie mates it will have to
   be "Reggie" my 'lil Ronnie N :

           but, as Arnie pointed out, with a name like "Reggie" he is
   bound to misbehave (especially after a good few ales).
           Maybe I'll try his mate "Rusty" after that:

           "Rusty" is a true British gentleman and always starts up with
   one or two swings of the crankhandle - very reliable. He also has a
   very quiet muffled sound "Poof - Poof - Poof". Very much like a
   "poofter" farting !!
           Failing all of the above, It'll have to be a bloody Maytag  :-)
   !!!

   (sorry Mark) (Dave they do run by themselves !)
           Whatever happens you can all be sure that Jacqui and I will be
   thinking of all the fantastic friends that we've made on these lists
   and will drink quite a few "toasts" to all you great guys 'n gals -
   that's a promise.

   Keep the revs up (or down)
