[SEL] European adventure

[Best, George]

Thanks Ron.
Not planning on visiting the guy with the Ruhrwerke engine on this trip, but who knows we might see another one during the trip.

Didn't see you at Tulare this year ;-)
(but then I didn't see a lot of people at Tulare this year)

Are you coming up north to any of the shows this summer?

Hi George.
Sounds like you are going to have a great adventure as usual.  If you run across the Ruhrwerke engine again would you take some pictures of the intake and exhaust areas please.  It is next on my list after the Blackstone.  Thanks.
