smalldoor 001 by henri briggs, on Flickr . you would of thought =more wiggle room easier to swap cruccys . well i was wrong ,more wriggle room = more ways henri gets to chase a ball bearing round the kitchen floor ,like a cat after a mouse . a big thank you to vin rouge on here who made the experience possible , by generously sending a better cruccy , 1st class post so i could get on . an then being a tinker an trying to refuse payment for even postage . my keyboard skills have improved , an found his email on my paypal , post an a bung for vin sent , a gent of the 1st order an got a favour in the "bank of H" . made hay whilst sun shined smalldoor 002 by henri briggs, on Flickr cases together , just clean up an grease d-bolts an torque em up , clutch corks put to soak for the night .
