Farewell old friend or how to load a lathe into a van

I've mentioned it before, but today it has become reality. My old Matra MDR2 has made room for its successor.

The following pictures are both a farewell and may serve someone as a bit of helpful advice on how to load a (larger) lathe. 

So what's the new one, because surely I have a new toy to play with? Well yes, you're right. Stay tuned. The new old girl will be picked up on Sunday.
