If it's a TV show we need some tears with sentimental background music, have you cried yet?

A bit like when someone gets booted off Masterchef.

I've been close a couple of times!

I could probably manage a moody look to camera

Thanks for that - Mike mentioned you'd installed those. Can't afford them at the moment but will bear in mind

I even acquired another engine in case and then it was back up and running in no time

Great news. Now all we need is an England win tomorrow night

Good news indeed.

So the rocker shaft walked out of the cam housing until the rocker was in fresh air?

Anyway, I do hope you enjoy Italy as much as we did a few weeks ago. Brilliant place to visit.

Nice one, super glad it's been a quick fix, looking forward to following those new arches through the winding roads of France.

If there is anything I can do during the couple of days prior to leaving for LeMans let me know as I'll be over in the UK a few days before we go.

Enjoy the holiday you need it I'd say.

Cheers
Jon
