FREE BOAT!

   If you know anyone going to Orkney, they have a big fleet up there! It is where all the old Budworth ones go out to pasture. Only several hundred miles away... 
It might be worth putting a note up on the classics forum, www.cvrda.org.

	As it has no trailer it could also easily be popped in a car boot to take away like this contender

I know someone who did once with a bit of ingenuity... & yes, Rockhopper, it will end up on Westwood Cross roundabout if somebody cant give it a home!! Bugger, it didn't work.... Edited by didlydon

	Kind of what the cvrda forum ends up doing a lot of the time. Must take a good look at that link when I have more time. Bed time story time, now!
