Having said that I got rid of five two strokes to a young man who has just joined the club. By that I mean that he is young compared to me, he's thirty-two, a father and a former Legionaire. I gave him a Merco 35 because I could not get it to run satisfactorily. I charged him 40€ (£35.25 Sterling or $46.36 US,) for a 25cc Super Tigre with a Super Quiet exhaust and let him have a K&B 65 Sportster and a Super Tigre 40 for two bottles of Beaujolais Villages. Sound engines but that's all they're worth these days!

I actually received three bottles of Beaujolais Vilages because he was late in getting them to me.
He probably couldn't afford the postage ei\ther.

I'm sorry to hear about Peter Drake he was a great designer. How old was he I didn't think he was very old? Such a loss cancer does care what your age you are when it strikes.
