Thanks for the comments gents

The mancave / garage is actually the owners machine shop (he owns a small engineering company). The machine shop is crammed with conventional milling machines / lathes, a shaper, ginders and differing size pillar drills along with various welding equipment (oxy, MIG, TIG).
Not a CNC controller in sight smile

There are some "other vehicles" of his currently stored there which I won't divulge here (until I have permission). But I can tell you there is a Scammell Tank Recovery Vehicle outside which he owns. Not sure if I fancy driving it or not.
As you can guess by the name "Tank Recovery Vehicle" - it ain't small and it ain't fast!

Oh yeah - it is the 9hp engine in the Riley.
Runs really well (top speed around 50 / 55 mph)
I didn't drive it very fast - she's just had new brake drums fitted and given they are cable brakes (lengths of wire) I thought it prudent not to until the new pads have bedded into the new hubs somewhat.

Rich - feel free to "vent" always good to get it off your chest for a while laugh
