A Monday with a Difference! (UPDATE: René Lelong)

• 

No dirty parts, no rusty chassis nor a cobwebbed old gearbox for you to identify on this Monday. Instead we present you with two elegant ladies passionately discussing the intricacies of an early engine to remind you that today is International Woman’s Day! Annually on March 8, hundreds of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements to mark their economic, political and social achievements.
