  13. great line up . Is that a JAP engine in the Morgan? Ewan Cameron build? Most likely I suspect. The only Blackburn one I saw was at Sammy Miller's museum. Of course he told me that the Blackburn was the best !
  14. Good to hear all is well in the old country. I came across a small reference to Chalmers in one of a very interesting series of articles on the life of the famous Detroit car collector Barney Pollard. featured in the AACA magazine 2012/13 Maybe you have already heard of him and read the articles. Here is a bit. Cheers, Barry
  15. More info here from Jay's excellent column in the excellent Octane magazine
  16. Hi Andy, Your spare Chalmers engine rebuild looks superb. What mods did the pistons require? I have a large stash of early pistons including many cast iron all NOS. Probably scrap metal only as most go with aluminum replacements these days. I recall that one can run much closer clearances with iron but probably not a worthwhile endeavour. Looks like a very nice lathe, Gratziano? Harrison? just curious as I am in the market for a bigger newer unit . Over here one of the favourites in the Hardinge, I think they have or had a UK factory as well as headquarters not far from here in New York. I am also getting a lot of shop work done on my 1926 Brough and 1980 XR 750 Harley projects. I abandoned the Lagonda project after completing the chassis restoration as the bodywork etc was too intimidating for me. The chap who bought it lives in London and has a saloon 2 serial numbers from the one I had ! It went to the best possible home.
  17. I stand by my statements and am happy to elaborate for anyone thinking emigrating to Canada would be a good idea. Here in Ontario our hospitals are overflowing. My wife has been waiting for an MRI since last July as it is suspected she has bleeding in the brain. You were lucky as chest pain is the ONLY thing that will get you looked at right away. The third leading cause of death in Canada is from medical errors ! I could write a book about our crappy health care system. And as far as being free have you checked your tax bills? All our really good doctors go south as the system sucks for them too. As far as weather you are not fooling anyone.I know what a fluke a Chinook is. I lived in Prince Albert Sask and know was minus 55 F is Also lived in a hellhole called Winnipeg ( nicknamed "Winterpeg" also know for mosquito infestations which rival the Congo.) Spent most of my life around Ottawa the second coldest capital city in the world after Ulan Bator Mongolia ! There are a great many reasons why the USA has over 300 million people and we have just over 30 million. I tell anyone that is young and ambitious to get out of here. I am an old man now but if I could do it over again I would opt for New Zealand.
