..My wooden Renault 4 Engine..

[ian Stanbury]

..Well team, my patent has finally come through on the design of my brand new Renault 4 'green' engine made totally of wood - All varieties of hardwoods have been used including Lignum vitae for the block and pistons.

I am so proud and am going to make a fortune if I can firstly get a big car manufacturer to take up my design and secondly if I can find a large source of Lignum vitae.

What do you all think?
