One last Dixie Flyer pic. The cylinder block fresh out of the chemical "hot tank"
The porting arrangement is interesting! The three bottom ports are inlet, the center is from the other side of the block and feeds into a pre-heating chamber below the exhaust.

Hello Bernie,
I have tried a couple of times to send you a message at your email address. Could you please check, my message has bounced back both times.

Hi Alan
You may be confusing a hyphen and an underscore.
the address is <hel_bern@21century.com.au>
for the "underscore" you go to the hyphen key and select uppercase (shift) What you are probably doing is just hitting the hyphen (dash) so it comes out<hel-bern this will then bounce.
Hope this helps, if not if you give me your address I will e-mail to you then you will have the correct address.
Bernie J.

Hello Bernie,
I don't know what was wrong with email. I had tried earlier to post you a message, to your email address, by copying your address and then to paste in the address bar. But the third try doing it the same way must have went to you as I didn't get a reject message. Hope to hear from you. I have several other questions on your Lagonda that I will ask on email. Have a nice day.
Regards, Alan

Hello All,
Here is the latest development in the Dixie Flyer saga. My jeweler/instrument maker son has been doing some work to recover the original magneto switch for the Dixie Flyer. This was seized solid with the key solidly in place with little chance of recovering it. He has managed to dismantle the switch and has made new insulation collars after freeing up the works. It is now ready to go back together and another "box" can be ticked. One thing I am having trouble finding is a Sessions car dashboard clock ( silver face) from the late teens or early twenties. anyone got one (in any condition) on their shelf.

Sorry folks, I will try again.

For the photo collectors here is another one of Helen and the Rapier. This time stopped at the now abandoned pit counters at Reims (France) The Main straight is now part of the N31.

Sorry Folks it looks like another photo error

[Peter Gariepy]

I think I see your photo posting problems. the filenames need to be simpler.

Example:

BAD: Dixie Mag Switch 1 jpg
GOOD: Dixie_Mag_switch_1.jpg

BAD: H & KG at REIMS.jpg
GOOD: h_kg_at_reims.jpg

Spaces and non-standard punctuation in a filename is bad.

Hope that helps.

Peter
