Hi,
Thanks Lawrence. I'm not too concerned about anything being a blot on the landscape because as you say we need lots of these things such as roads and railways. Years ago our neighbours invited us to sign a petition against a mobile phone mast which we politely refused to sign even though only recently have I bought my first mobile phone; at that time all our neighbours had mobile phones so I couldn't understand why they were up in arms; it's always OK for others to have the downside?
I agree Lawrence regarding adding a prop-shaft increasing manufacturing costs and yes such a prop-shaft would need to be long; I wonder how long the prop-shaft is in an ocean going liner such as the Titanic?
There appears to be a lot of talk regarding renewable energy but at the moment is it mostly talk and as usual until the other fuels are depleted it won't be taken seriously. Many companies are attempting to provide alternatives but as this is relatively new things such as cars which are eco-friendly seem very expensive?
Hows your Land Rover now Lawrence; I've lost track of it; did you fit the new carb OK and is it working to your satisfaction?
Kind regards, Col.
