Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2007Big, big thanks to WUN
It is a sad day for a man when a much loved machine tool has to go to a new home. But for (now at least) WUN seems to have 'space at the rear' for Cane's huge tool. The hiab truck driver we hired to collect the milling machine performed miracles with the hiab. This being all of *14 f.cking Metres* long at full extension and _still_ picked the ton or so of cast iron mill up as though it was a child's toy.. I have jsut got to get me one of those! Cheers again Nigel. JB Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, JB <JB@Nospam.co.uk> typed >It is a sad day for a man when a much loved machine tool has to go to a new >home.

Until one, apocraphyl, day the lashings broke resulting in a MII Granada sailing across the pits.
