first engine start with wipple sc went very well

[Michi Besler]

the first 496/Whipple testrun (of the boat) went very good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L40tUj53p4Q.
Most of the extra parts from the US (Sanstrainer for Intercooler, Gauges, Seatsrainer, etc.) are arrived. The 22 Shelby comes back from the painter end of next week (stern needs paint because we changed to ITS transom). If everything continues so perfect, we getting everything done until eastern.
All the best from Hamburg:wink::germany:

Jene Maschine brummt wie ein Tiger!

Funny thing is that we were just at the zoo and the big male tiger had the same growl. I think it is tiger "love" time because he was very, very vocal.
