The Tempest was hiding right behind that engine I showed you on the stand, the engine hoist was in front of it and with a bunch of stuff piled on the hood it was hard to see it inside my dungeon.

You can barely see it in the background just above the carb in this pic, hiding in the shadows and waiting for a heart transplant.
