4 years since last time that I won the national hillclimb/sprint/speed championship with it.
All my own work on the 13Bpp with all the machined work on ... 51.5mm intake, extended fuel bowl, exhaust, steel flywheel, dual brake balance... etcccc.
Will I make another one.... Yes!, in no time and will go for it because I'm more of know how to do it.
I do not own rotary shop and did a few jobbie on another people's rotary engines.
Will I do it on the FB and the answer's no cos I never do a drives the standard engine in my life.

FB's pic will come shortly h:


For your eyes only and enjoy it h[b[
