That's ok. Us taxpayers will be footing the bill for the next set of police motors too, which will come sooner than necessary.

Ha Ha, the engines are already run in at work, so there ready for wide open throttle!! The engines will do usually about 1200hrs before they are replaced.

It was a serious question - just had one for christmas and it's great - a 35mm slide scanned at full res works out at 70MP - a touch better than any digi camera.
Just discovered that things actually EAT slides and even though you clean the dust spots off etc they still need retouching in Photoshop - great results but very time consuming!!!

Question about the Seastar hydraulic steering, I was admiring the heavy duty hydraulic pipes and unions that are fitted. I have its baby brother (Baystar) fitted to a Suzuki DF90 on a Ribcraft 5.45, would it be possible to fit those or similar to a Baystar system and if so do you have the fittings. I don’t particularly like the ones that come with the Baystar, they look a bit lightweight especially with clumsy divers aboard.

We just have them made up by Pirtek. Althought the hose's on this boat were fitted by Halmatic.
