Seriously? Have you any idea how complicated it is to arrange any Gala timetable? Making it all work is complicated enough: I doubt if anyone was...
3 cylinders, eh? You'd think one of the buggers would be getting plenty of steam.:)
I am sure it will, Tom, give their respective stages of development. If I ever get a chance to drive that beauty, my cup will truly runneth over!

Good job I don't bet! TV stuck on me at Bridgnorth this lunchtime. Lost about 5 minutes sorting it, but soon made that back. Large numbers of...
