I was only given a turn at a Gotaverken. And only one shot, which I missed, before more deserving hands got a go. I did fractionally better at adjusting the pull rod nuts with the engine running (and the mob laughing from the sidelines) but again only once.

I must say that it looks as if my dancing lessons would have come in quite handy had I had a stab at starting a Doxford. I am sure that chap would have taken "Celebrity dance me strictly out of here" (OWTFIIC) hands down, well one hands down anyway.
