    Wow! Just wow!

    GUYS!

    It’s alive!
    I started the engine this afternoon for the first time...outside the garage with a fire extinguisher on hand!

    What a feeling!!!

    Thank you very very much all! You don’t know what this mean to me.

    I know there is much more to come but this is an unbelievable feeling!

    Thanks again!

    Francois

    I think the easiest way is to post it to YouTube and then link it here. I can't wait to see it. I LOVE first start videos!

    Is there any other option? Like a « translation » tool? Going through YT I don’t want to do that...
