That's fantastic news Dave. So have you got a Q plate?
We were saying at the workshop this evening, that, (touch wood), the Pop hasn't actually let us down & left us stranded anywhere yet. We fully expect a bunch of teething troubles. At the moment we're just fine tuning things.
Come & see us again on the trike as soon as you get that number plate fitted!

Yep it's a Q. The guy at DVLA was surprised that I was totally ok about getting a Q plate but I think it shows that it's been registered correctly. When I was getting insurance, the company almost insisted that it be a Q but I don't know why. It's all down to waiting for the Posties to do their bit now.  |

We'll do our best Dave! Although my truck's Q plated, the insurance company still wanted to know the date of manufacture of the original vehicle.  I agree, the Q suffix shows you've correctly registered your vehicle -something to be proud of.  |

 Now part of the Q continuum Could have kissed our postie when she delivered the documentation, but Mrs Old was behind me and that would not have gone down well.

They probably think so too! |

Couldn't put off pulling the head off when I realised that I could set fire to the engine breather tube like a Bunsen Burner  No need to hit it, once all nuts were removed the head lifted straight up, Not a pretty sight. |

Luckily all the bores are damn near perfect and the pistons, once wiped with petrol damped cloth turned out to be new Looks like someone, has rebuilt this engine very recently, but didn't torque down the head or clean the old gasket residue off the block . Putting it back together will have to wait till tomorrow. The lights have gone fut in the garage and being as it's Mrs Olds birthday I suppose I'd better spend a bit of time with her. |
