Really great to see Odilon.
Easily the best yet.
Had us all on the edge of our seats.

That's kind Les.
Put in the Wilson again next month and I'll vote for it, just like I did last time you put it in.

That's kind of you, but if Richard and James are entering theirs I might not bother.
I think I will wait and have a battle against your Wilson.

Great race to the finish guys.
Congrats Moose. That Wilson will need to make another appearance.

That would be classic - especially considering that I intend to use yours as an example for the restoration of mine

And I intend to use your oiler as a template to complete mine.

My goodness! I made the casting vote!
I went to lengths to ensure that I was unbiased - I did not look at the results or read the thread before I voted, and funnily enough the two that I could not make up my mind between were the two leading contenders!
Unable to make up my mind I just asked myself the question: If someone was to offer me one to keep, which one would I choose?
So I went for the workshop. I had no idea it was so close - but I can see why!

No can do mate, I'm not allowed to enter now a month under forum rules.

Yes but you can enter the following month.
We made the rule that winner can't enter the following month to try and let more people have a chance of winning.
I must nearly be time for an Australian engine to win.
I think we need some windmills or maybe even a roller entered in for next month.
