I was surprised as well, when I logged on at 7:15 I had 75 to go through plus what was being posted at the same time and have only just caught up. 
Good isn't it.

It's going really well and just look how many people are taking part. Not just the usual people, we'd expect but loads of us. It's a bloody good turn out and will give us posts to read for a few weeks to come.

Your right Manx.
These exhibits will be an excellent reference in years to come.
We will have to preserve them.
The turn out is amazing. What a cracking membership we have.

Don't worry SM I've already thought of a way to archive them without cluttering up the forum but they will be available still to read.
Any real gems we may copy to the Library section too.

It takes at least a half hour just to get caught up each time one visits.

Wow is right! I've spent a HUGE amount of time behind my computer today...what an amazing selection. I can almost smell the meths! Even better, it seems to have rekindled the flame in a few members. All in all, a resounding success!

Owen, I too am glad your wife talked you into a showing. That is a truly terrific D21 based power plant you have assembled. The deep red and black Wilesco components look very classy on the nice wood base you fabricated.

Thanks. The block under the pump is Mahagony(sp?), and the wood under the engine is Oak. Makes it really nice and solid. So there is no vibration when running. Just gotta get the belt to stay on the workshop.
