Did he use to write for CC in the olden days? I do remember there was a writer on there called Dron but didn't kno if it was the same person.
I was around "the scene" in the late 79s and had been reading CC since about 74, I think I got a mention in the Alcablown feature.

You're not alone, I'm always telling the youngun's tales of yore

Of course I KNEW you'd know Alan . We are becoming more insignificant as we remember how it all started in this country , no one cares about our history or those who went before . All about the latest internet post

You are not alone Kev. I guess you would probably think I would remember.

Are we both now mines of useless information or miserable old geezers with old tales too often told?

I think we might at a push be, 'some of the above', 'most of the above', hell, by now I guess we could be moving towards 'all of the above'

yes and side draft webbers

I seem to remember that it had steel liners and was then bored out

When you say it had a gas flowed head and Tripple Webbers do you mean it had the side draght carbs? That was usually done with the Raymond Mays six port heads and depending on who you listened to gave around 200 bhp. If it was 3.3 litre it may have been stroked because I wouldn't have thought there was space or bore one out much more.
