CornishMade Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 :-) Hello folks, a bit new to this, My dad and myself are in this as a joint venture, I type, he has knowledge. Both of us are cornish born and bred and into vehicles in need of care whatever the use or age. Our passion is peerless although he has other interests as well, The Irish Peerless has really lit his fire, just a beauty! P.S I'm Emma and he's Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) :-) ..My dad and myself are in this as a joint venture, I type.... What a brilliant combination! :-) I once drained a scammell gearbox and could swear someone had filled it with clotted cream :n00b: Mike - what started your passion for Peerless? Was it a past encounter with a real beast, or simply a photograph? It's surprising what can spark off a life-long interest.

CornishMade Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 .Yes, saves a lot of grief when the stress builds up. TEA is cheaper than parts damaged with a hammer!:-D Without doubt! and also good reason to pause and come up with another way to put the object of stress into submission, if all else fails then throw the hammer out the door !

Meteor mark 4B Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 CornishMade, I recall one person involved with the Wheal Martyn Peerless was the Cummins fitter who worked with Western Ex. Was this your Grandad or Dad? Also, I think the late Ron Bullock made the wooden wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do that, he also put two cummins in a boat called 'The Jubilee Queen' over Padstow, used for trips up and down the river around the island and back, that was day to remember when we tested them!!!!!!!!
