What? No engine!

Well, time has past and it's been 10 days since my last contact with Victory Narrowboats. I sent an email requesting an update and Howard, co-owner rang me back. The engine that they had ordered nearly 2 weeks ago is nowhere to be seen?! I have asked for a 45hp Barras Shire. Not the poor Shanks but the Yanmar based Shire.

We will have to wait until next week for an update on this situation. So near yet so far away!
