happy new year to all.
wow!! can't believe it was 2 years ago already that this one was first posted
by vintageman. as the original thread said, he was only sitting on it for a friend.
since then it has come into my possession thru some wheelin' and dealin'.
I have made only a few alterations to it to suit my tastes. got it out yesterday
for a few updated pictures. my show us your toad thread sort of motivated me a bit.
here is the original thread on this one. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=282166&hilit=toad

on comparing this frame to other fillet brazed toads there are numerous
differences in the tube sets. questions to be researched in the new year.

Well, fudge...

Its a beauty Roy, well done! Jealous doesn't begin to cover it, that is a sweet sweet piece of frog right there. The frame is amazing of course, but also that front end is so rugged.

Beyond improvement. Hope to see it up close one day...

Score!!!

Toad in the hole

LOL! Will that translate outside the UK?!

Known in Italian as Lesso rifatto all'inglese, Toad in the Hole is a subtly flavoured ethnic English dish consisting of a delicate balance of sausage (the 'toad') and Yorkshire pudding batter (the 'hole'), all of which is baked until golden and served al gusto
