XM655

[Hungry Haggis]

I have no idea how many blades are used in total. I will try to find out, but don't hold your breath.

You told me it was 7 1/2 buckets-full!

No leave sooty alone he hasn't enough fingers and toes so we might settle for more than 20

[Pujgnie]

Do you guys plan on doing any
(ahem...) Animal Testing??

Lobbing chickens into 665 isn't gonna help her taxi runs. That's the last thing they want !!

[Dan4th]

I know, I know.............

Murkin "Humo(u)r" in action!

We spell it differently, what'd you expect?

D.

[Saracenman]

Steady SM......we still have the HP compressor to check first!

[Sooty655]

hi sooty,
do you inspect the 'hot end' to check the TBC on the blades, vanes and the combuster wall?

I'll take the opportunity to have a better look at the LP turbine than I can get by crawling up the jetpipe, but no more than that. The hot end of an Olympus isn't something to mess with if you can possibly avoid it - lots of small stainless steel bolts that have been sufficiently cooked to shear rather than unscrew.

Our commitment is to respond to the concerns expressed by the OEM regarding possible catastrophic compressor failures. I don't plan to extend the brief beyond that.

You told me it was 7 1/2 buckets-full!

That was how we removed the debris of marine Olympus failures from the depths of the ship's intake structure.

[Dougs]

cool thanks sooty thought that the back end would be a pig to look at, great pics by the way i only normally get to see the individual parts not the built up engine. hope you can get her all fixed up soon

[Bovril]

So do we cant wait to have her running again.

next bit ... market research (comment /suggestions)

[RLN]

I like it. Very eye-catching, colourful and striking. How much?

[Dan4th]

I think at lot of it depends on who
that is holding the ladder.....

[Xplumberlives]

I like the two mugs with handles but not the middle one without!

That's a special one for folks who can't handle their drink.

[Xplumberlives]

Boom boom!

not sure yet, couple of things to finalise(images etc) but i think around £6 to £7

[Hungry Haggis]

I'd thnk twice maybe three time about paying that much .Tight fisted Jock and all that .£3.5 -£4 at most.

[Bovril]

where do you suggest we get them made? to get that price we'd have to invest in over a 1000... thats somewhere close to 3k on mugs

[Dan4th]

Well, I still wanna know who that
is holding the Ladder!

D.

He isn't holding the ladder, the ladder is behind him, taking some of the weight of the electrical cables to stop them pulling out.

I think the guy is Crew chief, acting (not surprisingly) as crew chief.

[Dan4th]

Crew chief ACTING?

What shows has he been on?

Danf.

[Sooty655]

I think his last gig was Celebrity Break-a-Leg.

(Sorry, Mark)

[Crew chief]

Indeed it is me in the picture .
As for my next show its going to be called celebrity accidents on ice and the main game is replace your knee cap once it has moved around the wrong side of your leg .O the pain. .
