Not quite so much of a shovel nose as we thought or remembered by Twister :D Narrowly missed out on the Red Band Merc on Ebay but just wasn't willing to pay any more money for an unproven motor that hadn't been started in over 10 years. Just waiting for Lake Ivy next year now :D. Although if we find...
