I hope nobody shoots at the boxes en route as happened to my first one from Fabian. It arrived with a number of bullet scars on it. You can see the rim actually melted and distorted, where the bullet struck and there are shock cracks radiating out from the strike point. A number of teeth were also struck and Fabian feared that they could have stress cracks in them so replaced the whole sprocket. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/06/29/Bullet-Struck-Sprocket.jpg) Wilson

Yes I don't know what they did with your sprocket ! Maybe Clays shooting... Fortunately we found a solution ! Great pictures Fabian - as I said in one of my original posts, I was close to mounting the sprocket on the wall to look at instead of to the Morgan to make it drive, so lovely are they to touch and feel :-). Thanks Phil !

Waved goodbye to my M3W for the winter, as some of the staff from the storage I use near St Tropez, came to pick it up today. It behaved pretty well this year apart from a failed Lambda sensor or sensors but it was still drivable and a fairly easy repair using the Bosch universal Lambdas. I am having to go back to the UK early this for some medical attention, which is going to be complicated by 14 days quarantine and then that a Covid test is required before I go into hospital. The Covid test is looking very difficult unless the hospital can arrange it.

Black Adder is the winner, he's the first one of the second batch to receive his sprocket.
