We bought it as an unused engine from Raymond Fowkes at Petit. He had already owned it for some time when we bought it.

Frieght organized, engine crated. All in place. Engine rides on Friday. Bit of a setback, but for the better. Full marks for the Rotec management. (^^)

I can understand your frustration, I share it. :evil: This is sort of more than my moer-meter can handle as well. But just had a PM from RVForker to inform me that he made a couple of plans, and engine SHOULD be on it`s way on 12th this month and year. Keep your fingers crossed...........
