Ah. Thanks.
I'll wait a while until they get production and distribution sorted....and dozens of look-alikes appear. (I suspect the demand has come as a bit of a surprise. Unfortunately for them it's going to be v easy to replicate as there's nothing patentable in them....not that such things bother the Chinese. Coming soon, the £19.99 version!).
Doubt is not a pleasant condition. .

Saw this plate in the cat sit house. Made me smile every time I walked by it. Guess I'll need to create a (slightly more 'me') cross stitch pattern so I make a picture

My youngest wanted a retro (!) digital camera & I ended up buying her a tiny 2013 Samsung compact - used, but retail with warranty, even - for £12! She loves it and it probably achieves something close to this Camp Snap camera.
The other upside is that, with the advances in storage since then, the sd card we put in it will probably never get full. Ever!

Been here 4 days and sat near pool a lot. Brekky served here and had a sarnie earlier
Having cheeky afternoon beer now.
This lifeguard never leaves the pool. Never seen anyone in pool since we've been here.
Most boring job ever . He just walks up and down, constantly

D'you want some bread with that butter?
(In fairness, if it's proper French butter, I'd be the same)

The training is going well, this one is the most promising candidate. Soon I'll have an army of woodlice collecting the dust bunnies.

Just bought one here:
Arrived today & I've given it to my daughter so she can have the fun of waiting to see how her photos turn out.
Good service & looks / feels fine. No idea what the photos are like yet

I couldn't work out where the inlet was.
So I found this pic of a similar Miller V16...

I can see the carbs on an inlet manifold, but the fact the inlet is betwix the sparkplugs is twisting my melon!

Old combustion chamber design with the plug off to one side, rather than the 'modern' location of in the centre between the valves?
