I took the new MVVS 91 out of its box and placed it by the TV so I could look at it whenever I felt the urge. That didn't last long, however - I got a slap and was told to get it out of the living room[&o]. Like I say: some people - no appreciation...

On a different vein, I have a couple of ASPs: a 46 and a 52. I can remember many years ago that one would shudder at the thought of bolting a Chinese engine in one's model. These engines might not have the visual appeal of the MVVS, but I can't fault their performance. The 46 is fitted to a Cougar funfly and the 52 to a Super Sportster and both are more than adequate - I think the ASP 46 is more powerful than the OS 46FX and throttles equally as well. I have run both in the same model and prefer the ASP (now it's run in). At almost exactly half the price of the OS they are great value.

Best give Messrs Landell and Bardot a plug at Just Engines: they have supplied all my recent engines and spares, you get the stuff within two or three days and they still have time to take the piss. Good Boys!

Cheers.
