That's me bang up to date, really enjoying the vids Tony :thumbsup:.  Good to see alcohol consumption back up to full capacity, in a couple of previous episodes it was a bit low and that was giving cause for concern.  And tell all those Muppets who are commenting about safety to calm down, it's not like they're going to get anything come flying out of their computer screen at them so I don't know what they're fussing about.

Keep up the good work :thumbsup:.

Cheers RT 👍. They make me laugh tbh. A few have this holyer than thou attitude. I know it's not safe but it's my choice and I certainly don't condone it. I have stopped answering them now lol.

Loud and clear this end Pete.  Just back from a 6 day test flight in the Starcraft, first trip away this season.  She's flyin' well, circumnavigated Pluto twice and all without a hicup.  Radioactive space dust played havock with the comms though, lots of breakthrough from adjacent channels.  No matter what frequency offset I tried just couldn't get rid of it then decided to try an old tip from Tony.  Couple of litres of Stella mixed in with the helium 5 (can't get helium 4 anymore - new EU regs) and wow what a difference!  Raised the octane rating just enough to get the cosmic alternator to hold a stable speed.  Bang on channel every time now.  Even managed to pick up Kermit the Frog's annual address to the nation broadcast live from the sun.

Not heard much from you Tony.  You've either been spending too much time on the Stella or you've been lifted by the You Tube health and safety police and thrown in jail :laugh:

Sorry RT, life just getting in the way. Been doing some house stuff to keep my long suffering wife happy and also getting the saloon and the P100 through their MOTs. The saloon needed quite a bit of welding to the chassis legs but with uncle Dave's help we got that sorted. Few other bits to do but I should get at least 1 video in before Cortina Day:)

You are the man, what makes MkV's special to you, l always prefer a MkV to a MkIV even though l spent 3 years with a 2.0S, driving it and welding it and other repairs.
