Hi Lockstock, The people who are going backwards in time are all the people buying new mowers from Bunnings who think they are helping the planet by not using a 2 stroke. They are kidding themselves because the pollution created by the manufacture of millions of cheap junky mowers that only last a year or so and then need to be replaced. The good old Victa 2 stroke even though a bit smokey will outlast dozens of the junky Chinese stuff
