Well, after missing most of the summer, our Bugeye is now in less pieces
than it's been for a while.  The engine and transmission are back in and
after a few more bits are bolted on, it should be ready to go.  We might
make the Palo Alto show and the Day Before the Britcar Day (DBTBD) drive
after all.

It's a 948cc engine (well, it's closer to 998 now) and the final decision on
the transmission was to rebuild the smoothcase with ribcase internals -- it
looks great, hope it works as well.

I'm sure there are lots of things that can still go wrong, but at least
there are less parts on the garage floor now.

Phewww..... (said with fingers crossed tightly)
