I know we all work long hours etc - but what do we all do outside of our working lives?
I collect and show antique engines...some call me old before my time but I don’t care!
Here’s a short clip of my favourite engine ticking over - a 1915 Crossley G110 single cylinder engine running on propane (used to run on town gas back in the day) I can’t see any engines of today running so well at 103 years old!
It has a bore of 5� and a stroke of 11� bringing the cubic capacity to nigh-on 3.4 litres in a single cylinder.....but it starts reliably with a spin of the flywheel. I’ve got four other engines, I’ll find some video of them running too.

Motorbikes (particularly Triumph), going to gigs or Northern Soul nights, and collecting Playmobil.... some of us never grow up!
