    We were on our way back from Cadwell Park once, race bike on the trailer, using the back roads when we passed a country show that was packing up. I let a small car that was coming out of a field out into the traffic and to my horror it was towing a trailer with a large stationary pump on it. God it was slow, and there’s no way I could pass it.

  18. It could drive a prostate massager, which is what I think most of the old geezers at steam shows do.

    Nice piece of kit, tho' :thumbsup:
