For several years I have been saying that now that Cummins engines in Land Rovers have become somewhat passé, the next frontier is a JCB engine conversion. Well, this man has done it:
It's a slightly more recent engine than I had in mind but he's got it to fit.
Incidentally, have I been pronouncing Salisbury axles incorrectly all these years? I always thought it would be pronounced like the town, but he says he's got a 'Sailsbury' axle.

Tekin a break from present wrapping.
"We" bought a load of Edinburgh Crystal at auction, as usual twas a bargin.
But now some has to go to the Scottish island, some to Wales and some to deepest Worcstershire.
The decanters weigh in at nearly 2.2 Kg each.. AND of course we are sending other stuff with them, like glasses etc
So you can imagine the faff, wrapping them Christmassy then in bubble wrap then struggling to find big enough boxes as she WILL send calendars too!
Our mate who runs a DPD depot and used to send our stuff for free, no matter how much we offered him ready money, has not responded to gentle "get back in touch now we are back" messages. So I have been foprced to open an account.
I tried registering as @kevstar but I will still have to pay!
And to think that we sent off 6 calendars and cards to 6 families, plus one or two other items in one box, plus two other cards to Frogland and one to Holland, yessdi. That lot cost £82 and each package's value was much less than the postal cost. We are knuts.
Still the recipients of today's lots will prolly be sending us specialist whiskies or gins, so not really a big deal!
Have fun all!!

I once sent a large Carnival Glass bowl to my cousins in Oz, she was amazed that it got there in one piece …
