Can’t remember whether Id posted them. Had the orange one for seven years and got bored of looking at it, so sold it at the right time for a massive profit.

Made an 800 mile round trip to buy the white one. Havent done a lot with it except polishing it. Hopefully with the garage and drive rearranged it will get out more this year

Never understood the fascination with the rs turbo myself, not nearly as pretty as a mk1 and from my limited experience of a couple of drives, the handling isn’t anything to write home about either. I know which of the two I’d have kept!

The cloth engine is cheaper to run! Though parking can be a bit pricey! I raced a power boat when I was young and daft, it was like ripping up £20 notes in the 80s. But hurt less when I got it wrong than it did with bikes.

Why music with everything now, love to heat those engines howl rather than hear her talk

Is that one of the many surplus Vietnam surplus flying machines that were in crates in the far east when the yanks pulled out.

A Yank vet I worked with bought a Platius Porter, that way.

No this one flew there

It's not old but there's a small helicopter flying back and forth over my house today. It's taking bags of aggregate to a remote site where there's a phone mast being erected. 3 or 4 minutes from the bag dump to the site and back.

Possibly an AS350.

One I just Like Morgan RIP special, looks like it has breaks on all wheels. This one looks a bitza rear wheels look A7
The white one we rebuilt #1.309 only had a contracting break on the rear wheel ! Front breaks were £5 and 25 pence extra If my memory of a sales pamphlet are to be trusted
