		<title>The Olds is running beautifully</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Oldsmobile is finished and we have travelled a few miles. A couple of runs of about 12 miles and now it is running beautifully. At first it seemed to struggle but we changed the plugs and bingo it started running very smoothly. Someone we know saw us on the road and started following and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Almost Finished</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Progress on the Oldsmobile is steady. It&#8217;s not a matter of just slapping all the components together but many small things have to manufactured and carefully assembled bit by bit. 
Trevor is very thorough with his work and as this is only a spare time hobby, progress has not been as quick as we would like. BUT, it&#8217;s better [...]]]></description>

		<title>Systems all go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The crankshaft was finally finished the day we were due to fly to India to participate in the Karma Enduro. After a mad dash to Coventry to pick up the long awaited crankshaft, deliver it have the bearings made, then hot-foot it to Heathrow &#8211; we made it on time.  We now have all components and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Crankshaft has finally arrived</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just before setting off for the Karma Enduro, the crankshaft was finally collected. It looks very well made and thankfully will now allow the engine to be rebuilt upon return.

		<title>The Crankshaft Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was looking forward to my update today as I was convinced that I could announce that the new crankshaft was at last in our ownership, but as usual, it is still not finished&#8230;but almost. It was meant to be last week then this morning, then tomorrow morning &#8211; perhaps it will be ready to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another delay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The crankshaft is still not finished. It is now expected by the end of September. Work is almost at a standstill waiting for the crankshaft. I have been getting on with more paintwork renovation to the body but Trevor has just about run out of jobs. When the crankshaft arrives it will be all systems [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oldsmobile at Silverstone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The Oldsmobile looked fantastic displayed on the Hagerty Classic Car Insurance stand at Silverstone Classic race meeting last weekend. The new crankshaft is still not finished yet so the body was put on the chassis minus the engine. The crankshaft is meant to be finished on 15th August &#8211; hopefully that will be the case [...]]]></description>

		<title>Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Progress with the rebuild has not advanced as quickly as anticipated.
The two main spring leaves were meant to take a week to make but ended up taking seven weeks. It&#8217;s been so frustrating waiting so long! They were finished last Friday so over the weekend we managed to get several layers of paint on, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>More Dismantling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everytime I walk into the workshop my heart misses a beat. Instead of a complete vehicle all I can see are bits and more bits.
It&#8217;s been worthwhile though as quite a few nasties have appeared. The latest one is that when the springs were taken to bits Trevor discovered that the two main spring leaves [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebuild Started</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over Easter the rebuild of the Oldsmobile started or to be more accurate the dismantling started. First the body was lifted from the chassis. Just four bolts were rumoured to hold the body on  to the chassis but in reality there were a few more and some other fittings to get off but then eventually [...]]]></description>
