Saw that James but sadly, mine aren't - a job-lot of B and Q specials bought on special near the end of the planting season. There's tulips to come too - if they grow... I struggled when I planted them as it was not clear which end was which so they may have ended up being planted upside-down...

Our mural celebrating one of our town legends has had a small addition following the building it's painted on having gained a new lease of life :-D

The building, once slated for demolition in favour of the inevitable housing development on the site, has been nicely renovated and is back to being what it always was - a garage/car dealership :cool:

As a town, we're very happy about this... We need more housing development like a fish needs an ashtray...

Made it difficult showing us the back of it and no cylinder head!

I spy an oil return point, so I'm going for a turbo XUD. Most likely an XUD9 but as auto I'll go for it's bigger brother: the XUD11 ?

Bang on the money with the latter :) Indeed it's an early XUD11 and headless to donate to a slightly younger XUD11 that bent a few valves due to a cambelt incident...

Well done :D
