You're right, I need to fix that 235 mph stuff. You must have been talking to Willie Wilson near Manchester (747-400 British Airways pilot that also flies a KR). He just finished restoring an 8 hp tractor that his father bought in 1956 (the year I was born). It's an awesomly simply little thing, slightly bigger than a soapbox racer, but it replaced a team of horses! I'll try to remember to send you a picture, although I think it's in my England site somewhere, so you may have seen it already. It's a cute little blue thing with Willie at the controls...
