my other other hobbythought I'd post up a pic of my other other hobby, vintage boating. The boat is MV Lucy Ann, a broads cruiser owned by my grandad and my dad. It was a bit of a mess when they bought it in 1978 but its slowly been restored over the years. It is also the chassis for my other other other hobby, vintage engines, as it has its original Petter AV2 engine from 1955. I've also put a link up to show a film of the engines last run this year before being winterised.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhFtIggugCI

its not after 2 weeks believe me. It can be cramped and cold, and as the engine is very big and very loud you can hear it for weeks afterwards! But yes we are very proud of her and she's not bad for a boat built in 1955. |

Very nice! Much more attractive than the modern ones in the backround.

It looks like a fine Cruiser you have there. That one is big enough to really enjoy. | ||

Great Stuff Mate!
I was going to ask where you use the boat but I see in the video the Thames. I have had a few weeks of holidays up on the Norfolk Broads Starting from Places like Stalham and Brundle a nice relaxing holiday too. Paul. |
