Pop, pop, poppopopopopop, poppetypoppetypop, pop, pop, pop and so on. Not to mention the stink of two stroke smoke.

Changing the subject.......I took the miniature, as per avatar, across to the beer tent on friday night.
As we were about to go back to the camp site a (miserable) woman said, in a loud voice "You've spoilt our evening". I asked how and why and apparently it was the smoke and steam from my engine.
I attempted to engage her in conversation along the lines that she was at a [I]steam[I] show (big clue there in the title) and there was much alternative seating available but she wasn't having any of it.

Some people, eh?
