Do they have rev limiters for when someone nicks the prop or does a con rod exit the side of the hull when they try to go "full ahead"?

Speaking of scrap metal Steve - someone texted my car phone the other day, and asked if there was any Steel lying around by the bins  ::)  ;D

Just out of curiosity, how much is scrap where you are?

We get £100ish per car... but in Sheffield I don't think they pay anything  :-/

Yes I know, James. All sorted now thanks. :y

It was a mate of mine who likes to 'play' with metal and welders and angle grinders and a whole other heap of boys toys.
