Hello
Been out of the loop for awhile (computer problems) came back tonight and
thought I was connected to the Automotive History Channel Newsgroup! Nice stuff guys, hand cranks, 2CV's, MG's, and on and on. Cool stuff! My hand crank experience is limited to 4cyl propane engines on terrazzo grinders! Boy, I had a fun childhood ;-) Chris 99BBB |
