I am an ex tradesperson (aircraft electrical and instrument fitter) so I do have some mechanical nous.

Wouldn't happen to be ex-Fleet Air Arm by chance would we . . . . . . .   

Used to work on "Pigs" myself   

Didn't you know, the "Marquis De Sade" of Engineering was Italian ?

And your right, they ARE a load of fun to drive.
