	Progress...... I have a dentists appointment at 09.00 tomorrow, the back home and my mate Jon is coming down with his VW van, then off to see if we can get the pump bought and dismantled/removed from where it is mounted. Fingers crossed that is it all reasonably easy to do.

My mate Jon came over and the two of us ended up drinking coffee and chatting till he had to leave. Called again on Saturday, but shop lackey type guy said owner had been missing for 3 days. Will call him again tomorrow to arrange time to go pay and get a note of permission to dismantle and remove pump. Jon is coming over in the afternoon to pick me up in his van..... weather permitting of course. Trust me..... You guys will know of it first.

	Right....... Never as easy as it seems, is it ? After agreeing to buy this pump, I realized the Dipchit who "sold" it to me did not own the property any more. So I was gutted, and had to walk away from it. Of course I did try to get hold the new owner through the selling agency.... typical, trust me, I would not support them given a chance. Today I had to get to a job interview after dropping Nicola off at work, the route to Basingstoke 90 miles away, took me past the site of the old pump, and I noted that the buildings were being demolished..... so I decided to go via the site on the way back from the interview, and a visit to my mate Oldone, who builds High end Mazda Rotary racing and drag engines...... He was just finishing off a little job that saw him remove a V8 from a Sit up and Beg Anglia Pop, and replace it with a small 1146cc rotary engine, built for reliability that will deliver around 140 bhp to the little body. I ended up speaking to one of the guys on site who was removing the asbestos sheets, and he said he would ask the boss tomorrow to see if he would be prepared to sell the pump to me. Fingers crossed..... and that he does not come up with a stupid price. I would be obliged to walk away. Lets see what the next 24 hours brings. I would be dead chuffed if I get to buy this pump for sensible money.

	We would normally be happy to get rid of anything like that if it was on one of our sites. Otherwise its just more curse word to go into the metal for fragging or skip. A couple of slabs of beer never goes amis though
